Killing Dogs, news to me (not graphic, sort of)

[3 Sheets To The Wind]

I didn't know people in the USA kill their own dogs when they get too ill to carry on, didn't think it would be legal, and i thought everybody had them put down at the vets, here you go, check this out. It was news to me that people actually do this...

Oh, i'm not on about the article at the top, as i couldn't be bothered to read it, but the replies from everyone else on the page
(ps, i'm not saying just Americans do it, but they are mainly from the US on the site, and not many people have real guns, with enough power to kill animals here (UK for those who don't know )

I`ve put my pets down. I never had a problem doing it. It may sound cruel to some but I would rather do it than have a strager do it for money. Think about it. If you take it to a vet, your just paying them to kill your pet. I`ll probally get flamed for this but, what the hell. It won`t be the first time or the last I`m sure.

screw that,you have a different way of doing things,so what?

being a HUGE animal lover i could never relieve their suffering myself,but i have had one of my dogs put down and i was beside myself with grief.she had been in so much pain for so long.when they put her down they gave her a pain killer and she was like a puppy for 15 minutes before they put her to sleep.i have never cried so hard in my life,but we had a good game together and she passed with quietly in my arms in no pain after a good play.i miss her still.

YOU'VE KILLED YOUR OWN ANIMALS INSTEAD OF PAYING SOMEONE ELSE TO DO IT FOR YOU?!?!?! YOU'RE FUCKING SICK! SICK-O!

Kidding. I agree with you 100%, though I'm a panzy and would be incapable of doing it without like having a lethal injection on hand. Shooting them would be too messy, and that seems like the only other painless option. Though I have a friend in the country who has shot his animals to end their suffering after they've gotten attacked by coyotes or trampled by livestock. (once for each)

Screw that yourself, yes I do have a different way of doing things. So WTF?

no,no,no i wasnt saying you were wrong,i was saying you shouldnt receive any grief because you do it yourself.sorry,i should have been more clear.

I've just never heard of people putting their own pets down, just found it strange that people bust a cap in their dog to kill it, i thought lethal injection at the vets was what EVERYBODY did when their animal was ill as fuck...
But at least i'm a little bit wiser now

thanx for bringing back fucked up memorys for all us former and current dog owners dude...putting down a beloved family member sucks ..there is no way around it IT SUCKS ..but sometimes its got to be done ...it dosnt matter how you do it as long as its quick and painless to the animal ..its always painful to the person who is stuck with this chore .i know when my times up i would rather be surounded by people who i love and to be some place familur preferably out doors ..i would never want my or my pets spirit left in some cold and lonely clinic
