Hitler did what you're describing and it didn't go over so well with the folks everywhere else.

Well pets cannot talk, we don't know what they would decide really as all of you know. What gets me is, why do people let it get to the point of no return? Like if you have a pet you should be feeding it healthy and walking it every day so it doesn't get out of shape. If you're not able to do this you shouldn't own a pet.

We have got to realize that humans and pets are not the same. Humans can speak and make choices for themselves sadly when a dog looks like he or she is in slot of pain we have to make the decision for them and I'm sure they appreciate it.

Its a hierarchy of life, humans being at the top, (in short) pets like cats and dogs being 2nd and finally farm animals being last which no one seems to give a shit about.

Another question I must ask and this isnt me being an annoying vegan this is a serious question that people seem to ignore, what makes cows and pigs lives any less than the life of your dog? Why is it ok to kill millions of factory farmed animals DAILY? There are more humane ways of going about farming animals.

The amount of pain is completely different and animals aren't equal to humans.

"We don't put a healthy dog down" is a slogan I've heard a lot with vets and animal rescue companies and it's completely true. If your dog breaks a leg or cuts itself then it's not going to be put down because it's not too painful and it can handle it. That's not the same as if your kidneys and liver not working and suffering from brain damage, the amount of pain that the animal would be in is unimaginable and for what? They're not going to get better and at such an old age they're going to die soon anyway.

As far as I'm aware, you're not forced to put your dog down, it's your choice. If you don't want to put them down, then don't.

Being in pain and being in complete agony are two different things and there's a lot of old people who would love to be killed but they can't because our laws don't allow it. Humans are completely different to animals and they have different rules and laws.

I never understood the whole vegan thing. If you're not going to eat meat or dairy products that doesn't change the opinion of the person next to you. The farmers will still kill animals and people will still eat them because that's what humans are designed for (we're omnivores after all). We were made to eat meat and vegetables and without these horrible methods of killing animals, we simply wouldn't be able to supply enough meat to feed everyone who wants it.

Honestly, can you imagine the hundreds of thousands of flies, spiders and insects that are killed everyday? Probably more than the number of animals killed by farmers in a whole year. The world is a brutal place and meat has a sellby date. If they were making too much meat and the shops couldn't sell it all then they wouldn't purchase it from the farmers. It's obvious that people want to eat meat and that it's being sold. Not to mention that pigs give around five hundred sausages per pig, so a lot of people must want to eat meat.

Everyone would eat meat if they had to, there's tons of stories of humans eating each other because they were trapped and had no other source of food. You do whatever it takes to survive and just because we can all now buy vegan food now doesn't mean we shouldn't stick to our old methods of eating.

Thats exactly how i feel, such a sad world we live in . at least there are people like me and you out there

I would much rather put my pet down (Going to have to put one of our horses down soon due to problems) than watch them suffer.

I am all for euthanasia. Why carry on suffering, clearly in pain or discomfort, when you can just end it whilst you are fine?

It's a no-brainer to me. I dislike the fact that humans can't choose euthanasia in a lot of countries.

Sometimes you can't help it, it's usually in their genes. My old rottweiler's both ended up having a form of cancer, but were in great shape. I can't help that.

Euthanasia exists. People can tell you the pain and suffering isn't worth it and they want to die. Pets can't tell us these things. When a pet is in a lot of pain, old, blind etc, the best thing to do is end the pets suffering because keeping it on this earth could be like torture to the pet. That's just my opinion, putting a pet down is the hardest thing to do, it's like losing a family member, it's like turning the life support machines off on someone because they have no quality of life.
