Question

Help answer this question below.

Is it wrong to put a dog to sleep on your own? My uncle lives on a farm and though he really loves his dog - when they are sickly and old he shoots and buries them on his own. I personally don't agree with this and think he should have a vet do it.

    I believe that the vet should do it becuase what if one time the shot doesnt work and then the animal doesnt die the first time round, quick and painlessly but ends up in so much agony. I beleive the vet is also a more humane way to do it because that way you dont have the blood of something you loved on your hands, its less messy and the animal just falls asleep.

    • A prime example of how weak we have become. Rest assured, the blood is indeed on your hands...regardless of the method. That having been said, do you not think the more humane act is to allow the animal to be with its master until the last?
