sorry but i have too. i dont wanna see my pet suffer. The act of killing someone painlessly (especially someone suffering from an incurable illness) are you for it?

I don't believe in a animal suffering..We had to put our cat to sleep a year ago as he had kidney failure and other problems. He was 14 years old at the time. We tried everything with the Vet. but it was the best to put him to sleep. They shouldn't have to suffer. At least humans can take meds for some pain, but it sad to see anyone suffer from pain..Animals can't tell us how bad they hurt, all we can do is look at them and see them hurt. And if it is a incuralbe illness then it it better to put them to sleep...

I believe euthanasia is a kind way of ending the animals life. There aren't enough homes for all the animals of the world and putting them to sleep prevents the animals from ending up in even worse situations. Some research facilities get their animals from shelters. I would rather have the animals put down than having them be tortured in a research facility.

No animal should be left to suffer as I believe humans shouldn't, so long as the animal is put to sleep humanely it is something that is so much kinder than let it go through pain...

I am all for euthanasia. I beleive that no one should have to suffer in pain. I wouldn't want to be hooked up to a machine just to keep living. you cannot get no joys out of life like that. I would also have my dog put to sleep if he should become ill. I wouldn't want him to just lay there and suffer either.

I do. Just like humans. In fact on all living being. When I first came to hear about this, I told my husband that he will have my consent to sign my euthanasia paper required by medical practitioner, whenever I am not able to do so.
