Euthanizing pets has always been the rule rather than the exception in my family. We are all big animal lovers and often end up with older pets that have no home. When the animal gets to a point where it’s crying in pain often or can no longer eat or walk or some combination of those 3, we usually take the animal to the vet and have them euthanized. We (my family) don’t believe in making an animal suffer for our own wishes that they would stay alive. It seems selfish. Some people will keep an animal in pain, alive for a long time. That’s their choice. But I think ethically, it’s wrong. Let them go peacefully surrounded by those who love them. Also I’m pro self euthanizing for the same reasons. But that’s a different topic.
