Animals put to sleep

To sleep you mean where it never wakes up again or you stroke it until it falls asleep?

Put to Sleep is the common phrase for Uthenization (Spelling?). So, where they never wake up.

I've had my dog put to sleep. He was in total misery and had so much wrong with him, it was just the humane thing to do.

Joel, how is it cruelty? If someone has a justified reason, such as the animal is suffering and will end up dying anyways, is it still wrong? Your just putting them out of their misery when this happens. Now, if someone has no reason, than it does become cruelty.

Euthanasia.
@dotDavid, thanks, but it says in the rules posting just to correct a word that is spelled wrong isn't welcome.

Thanks,
Matt 🙂

Never had to. I only ever had a hamster. 😛
Same with me. I've had loads of hamsters over the years. It's sad when they do die though. Furry little buggers light up your day sometimes.

So........ You would rather let a dog limp around who has been hit by a car and is suffering from pain every morning THAN give him a shot that will lay him to rest peacefully?

I can't believe you would say that. There is no way putting an animal down is cruelty. The owner wants whats best for it, and it clearly takes a toll on them to. Don't believe me? Watch this without crying, I dare you:

That has got to be the worst job in the world. I don't know how I'd be able to do it.

I agree, but it has to be done. There are tons of jobs that seem unbearable. :/

Your kidding, right?

It is the right thing to do no matter how much it hurts. Would you rather let you pet suffer? Not unless you truly didn't care about it. When an animal gets put down it's peaceful. I watched one of my dogs be put to sleep and it was an incredibly hard thing to do but in the end I was glad I did it as seeing him go through pain day to day was making me really upset and I knew he didn't deserve it and would be in a better place afterwards.
 
Really joel? Has this ever happened to you?
It's the humane thing to do dude. We had a 12 year ld collie who had hip problems and her lungs were getting liquids in them(something like that) anyways, we put her down to stop her suffering. You watch your dog wail around in pain for weeks until it dies in front of you and then say that it's humane. Seriously dude.
 
Yeah Ive had to before. Its not easy but sometimes it needs to be done.
 
No, they just died on their own. When I was a baby, my dog died and when I was in Pre-school or Kindergarten my fish died. I wasn't emotional then because I didn't really understand or I didn't care, but I don't remember. 😛
 
The only thing about it that gets me is if the reasoning to the creatures condition was caused by humans, such as a race horse being injured. Most of them are killed, so they won't "suffer". Now, what if the horse wasn't being ran into the ground? Other than that, it is fine by me if it is the better thing to do.
 
I put my very old cat to sleep because it was in terrible pain. I have two more cats now!
