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. :)
you didn't read what they wrote...
isn't "quality of life was suddenly diminished beyond a certain point". It's how every being on earth works. People literally think that there's no obligation to their animal to do anything other than give them food and water. As soon as the animal gets sick, or requires even a slight change outside of the norm they go to put it down. That's not an act of compassion in any sense of the word. It's laziness or malice on the part of the owner.
Yeah, when your dog or cat needs a slight bit more care, just as giving him fucking pills once a day. Thats a real fucking hardship. Youre totally right, mate. I stand corrected. Well done for reading what I said, and getting "quality of life was suddenly diminished beyond a certain point". So obviously, next time you get a headache, youll be walking into traffic, right? Cos you know, yOuR qUaLiTy Of LiFe Is So DiMiShEd... You were saying something about being a cunt?
