I agree - there are now limited laws here in Canada which allows under very narrow circumstances (mainly painful cancers where the line is pretty sharp) for "doctor assisted suicide".I‘ve always questioned why we have the double standard of putting sick animals down to ease their pain but don’t allow humans to make the same choice for themselves.

A point which has not been raised is that some of the drugs used to put animals down are highly toxic and stay so for a very long time. That limits our ability to allow the "circle of life" where an animal can decompose and feed the soil and surrounding plants also gets impacted.

As someone that has taken in countless pets that were no longer "wanted", abused, or old; whose owners died, could not afford their care or CHOSE not to provide care. I can assure you, I have yet to have one that "did not come around". Majority simply don't even blink, dogs live in the moment, not on memories, they have NOW. Some take a day or so, some it is years before they shake off horrific abuse fully; but they all MUST have some joy, at all times.
