Really, what's one got to do with the other? Next time anyone complains to me about anything, I'm just going to say, 'well be thankful you're not going to be turned into veal.' If you want to compare the level of trauma experienced, I'd say this puppy went through much more trauma than a calf; if you pretend that they had human minds and had a concept of death and what was happening to them, and if you pretend that a dog can actually conceive of what it's like to be a calf, then yes, you could pretend that this dog should thank his lucky stars. But that's just delusional anthropomorphism.
