If you are one of those creepy people who calls your pet your "fur baby" AND your vet tells you there is nothing he can do for your pet AND you decide to put said pet down... isn't that just a really late term abortion... a bit of playing God?
Along the same lines - why are people ok with putting their beloved pets down to "spare them the pain" but not willing to do the same for the humans they love?
The doctor tells you there is nothing they can do for grandad so you give the doc the ole nod and a wink and suddenly they stop feeding him...
it's all the death with none of the guilt!
Why not just have the vet come in with his needle and take out grandad while you cuddle him?
Him being grandad, not sure why you would be cuddling the vet.
Also - not sure if vets use needles to off your pet or if they have some sort of gas chamber like Falkie's Uncle Addie had.
A closing thought - doesn't evolution mean, at some point, a human baby was sucking monkey tit?
