People always bring perfectly healthy pets to my vet to put to sleep(he
refuses), that, however is NOT euthanasia - many vets do it, many refuse.
However, many people are so hung up on having their pets killed, that they
won't allow anyone to take them, and insist that the vet kill them. People
Yes people suck.a very good friend of mine (who I had in a pedestal) just put
her 8 year old perfectly healthy border collie put to sleep. I went to her
house to see what happened and she told me that they just didn't want anyone to
