Felt good about myself today til I read this thread, found out I am a dispicable human being. I, well, mostly my wife have gotten rid of a couple cats and a dog because of several reasons which would make a lot of people upset, I don't think you should expend all resources keeping sick or stupid animals alive. They are not humans, they are animals, they get the crappy end of the stick. I'm not spending 2000 on a dog that is half brain dead when my kids need winter clothes. And if a cat won't stop peeing on my kids bed, see ya!
People who treat their animals better than other human beings make me lose faith in humanity more than someone who euthanizes an animal for less than perfect reasons.
And please don't confuse me as someone who gets a pet cause they are cute and just needles them when they lose the cute factor. But the guilt trip I got taking my dog in made me want to tell the vet to stuff it.
