You show all this compassion for a dear departed pet, but cannot show
compassion at the difficult decision made? You elevate an animal above a
person in your actions. It is not a lack of morals or concience, but the
conviction to those morals that allows a person to end the suffering of a
dear friend, as difficult as it can be. You on the otherhand use the
opportunity to ridicule and be hurtful rather than show empathy and
compassion, or even disinterest.. But that is in keeping with your
character.
"Simple Simon" wrote in message

What I cannot abide, however, is people who write things
that indicate they consider their pets as just another throwaway
toy. There is all too much of this crap going on these days. What's
worse these people expect support and sympathy for their
moral decriptitude.

People move into an apartment or house where pets are not
allowed in the lease so they dump their pets out of the car
along the road somewhere. Or, people meet another person
who is alergic to their pets so they get rid of the pet at the
pound. The pet gets sick and it will be expensive to treat
so they have the vet kill it and on and on. People have many
excuses but what it all boils down to is FAILURE to accept
obligations because it is inconvenient to do so.

This indicates a total lack of conscience, morals and respect
for life in general. This is true psychotic behavior but so many
people exhibit it that it has blurred the norm. But, still, people
will continue to attempt to justify it by claiming they killed their
pet for whatever reason when the ONLY valid reason to ever
kill a pet is if it is suffering greatly and has no chance to live.
Only then can it be considered humane to kill the animal.
A real man will do the killing himself - not take the animal
to the vet which is another failure to live up to obligations.

It is never humane to abandon a pet. It is never humane to
regeg on your obligations to your pet. You willingly take on
the obligation. It shows a lack of morals to change your mind.
Too many people these days have no morals. They do whatever
is most convenient at any given time but what disgusts me is
they lie to themselves and attempt to justify this lack of morals
with lame excuses that simply don't make any logical or moral sense.

If my words can sway one opinion and save one animal they are
worth it. I don't care what people think of me for writing these
words.

A cat on board is a necessary if not sufficient component of any survival
kit. They can find food in any port in the World and will bring you nice
birds, snakes, lizards, and rats so fat they would grace anyone's table.
And if you are starving at sea, you can eat the cat, use its claws for
hooks, its gut for line, its eyes for bait, and tie its tail to your radio
ariel.

There comes a time in most animals lives, when the quality of life is gone,
when only suffering and pain remain. Most animals reaching that point
probably wish to die. I think I would. Those who care the most have an
obligation to ease that suffering. The hard part is knowing when "to be"
should give way to "not to be."

Intended use is a big factor. To be considered
reneging one must breach a promise - one makes
no promise of sanctuary to farm animals raised for food.


Then we're in complete agreement. I make no "promise" when I to buy a
cat to catch mice or a dog to bark intruders so if either fails to
perform then I shoot them with no more guilt than I'd have for killing a
cow, pig or rabbit. Similarly, if I breathed enough carbon monoxide
laden city air or did drugs til I become addle pated enough to seek a
cat or dog's companionship then all Ie promised to provide is a quick
death when I recover my sanity and my unnatural need ends - right? So
what are you sniveling about?

A couple I know went nuts when their kids flew the nest and bought dogs.
Shrink says THEY need something that needs them to survive. Jeeze they
even let them sleep on their bed! Can you imagine? They wouldn't let
their kids do that.

That's because inbred red-neck texans *try* to run them over. They have a
point system and everything.

Now that's not funny. I drove out to Jacksboro, TX yesterday and was

amazed
at the dead animals on the highway. In a hundred miles I counted 2 dead
skunks, 3 dead possums, 1 dead dog and 3 dead but unidentifiable.

Except for Bobsprit and BillyJane who are examples of a new species - homo homo.

Got news for you....even though we are sapient and have cognitive reasoning, we are animals. We are primates of the genus homo and
species sapien. Some people prefer to ignore that fact, but it is a fact.

Who said I could not kill an animal for food? Your assumptions are totally
incorrect and naive as usual.

I can and do kill lobsters, fish, shrimp etc. for food. When I was a boy on the farm
I killed chickens and turkeys, helped with butchering pigs and cows and have no
regrets. A man's gotta eat. However a pet is a different story. A pet is part of the
family and a surrogate human by the obligation one assumes when one accepts a
pet into the family. This places the pet in a different realm than a farm animal and
one must treat the pet like one would treat a member of the family. Is this so hard
to understand. It's more a matter of obligations assumed at the outset and meeting
those obligations. Standards assumed are standards not to be tossed aside lightly.

Everyone should know what a steak really costs......

People don't wnat to know...they want to live their nice clean complacent lives where pain, dirt, sualor and misery never touch them
and reality is what you see on TV....
This society would be doomed if there ever was a cataclysmic event that took away all their toys and fureblows...truly only the
strong and able would be the survivors...Neal would perish since he would not be able to kill an animal to feed himself (yet he
merrily broils pork chops on his grill...never had a thought for the pig that donated that meat).

What's this 'put down' ****?

How people obfuscate! Using a sanitary term does not make putting down
any less than the act of killiing.

People kill; people die. People do not put down; people do not pass away!
Let's accept reality for once.

The very use of English shows the extremes people go to to deny acts
and consequences. This is sickness pure!

In other words, is three minutes of suffering for a dumb pet worth two
years of life for a human??

It costs $15.00 to put down a dog or cat. Or the price of a .22 shell (if you are able to do it...)
