I was reading a comment by a woman last year I think it was. Basically, her dog had gotten sick. Nothing major, but it required a bit more care than a healthy dog would. Long story short, she wanted to put it down because she couldnt be bothered. Now, my dog got sick a couple of year before. Needs injections twice a day, and then on top that, his eyes went. So he needed an op to see again. After the op it was 5 eye drops in each eye every few hours for like 4 months. It was a lot. And so far, its cost me around 15k all in, not including insurance. And no, I cant afford it.

I didnt blink when it came to caring for my dog, because thats the responsibility I took on when I got him. But others... They think its going to be all walks in the park, catching frisbees and meet cutes with attractive people. And then just toss their pets when it become inconvenient. Pets are always a weird one. Some people have compassion for living things, are other people are cunts... :)

Some people have compassion... other people are cunts.

That's the t-shirt right there, folks.

I mean you get this same argument when it comes to people saying that life needs to be protected above all else, and ignoring people's desire for access to euthanasia. I know that i personally would not want to go on living if my quality of life was suddenly diminished beyond a certain point, especially if it was going to be an additional burden on my loved ones. Obviously pets can't make this decision or communicate it, but i don't think you have any right judging people making that choice for their own beloved animals. Putting an animal down can be an act of compassion. But some people understand that and other people are cunts. :)
