Why do people..............?

Question

why do people like to put down their pets even for the slightest of injuries?for example,many people are asking if ever pets have to be put down even though their pets only have broken bones.i mean,why would you that?kill a pet just because your pet cannot walk anymore?!the animal can still live,right?why put it down?

yes,i understand putting down the pet if ever it is severely suffering but for smallest injuries,people are now considering "mercy-killing".i think it's highly ridiculous!people nowadays are so ignorant...

opinions?comments?

Answer 1

its ridicoulis, people are such hippocrits! its illegal for people to murcy kill someone when there suffering, even its illegal if the person suffering asks someone to kill them, so its illegal for humans and all humans would rathe rlive then die because they broke a bone, so why would they kill an animal because it broke its bone?

people need to see this from the animals perspective, if you would like to live with a broken bone chances are it would too,

so ok law l, imagine i come over there with a sledge hammer and shatter your leg, ok come on now lets go and give you a lethal injection, unless you dont wanyt that then we could give you a big badge that says hippicrit

Answer 2

i've never heard of being put down for a broken bone, but some people try to put down there pets for small injuries like that and subconsciously tell themselves that it was the right thing to do, because they may not be able to take care of it due to random things like money problems, so when the oppurtunity comes to get rid of it, they tell themselves that oh this is the right thing to do, its probably suffering a lot, when it is in pain, but not enough to put it down. but thats just what i think

Answer 3

They just like it to be their food. Nowadays, all the prices in the market get high. So they think of a way. And that's it.....

Answer 4

cuz the dr be lying i remember when they asked me if i wanted to put my dog down they said he only had 3 weeks i said no 5 years later he still runing around

Answer 5

Well, I've never heard that. Unless you're talking about horses, which is different, all people I know who've had an animal with a broken bone have had it fixed unless it's their neck or back, of course.

I've also never heard anyone on Y!A ask that, either. Must just be you?

But no, if the animal can't /walk/, that's about quality of life. An animal likes to walk and move around freely- with the inability to walk, they will get depressed! It /is/ a mercy killing if the poor thing can't even walk. It's not just about being alive, kiddo- it's about the ability to walk to a food dish, to walk around the neighborhood, to chase a ball or stick...

So if it has a broken leg and it'll heal and it can move around, or temporarily has some difficulty, that's fine. But if it's broken it's leg and it won't heal, and it can't walk...that's quality of life and the animal should be put to sleep if it's going to be immobile for the rest of its life.

Paranoid kid, I didn't say you were lying! I said me personally hadn't heard a thing about this, so it must just be you. Don't assume things.

I'm not a hypocrit.

I SAID IF THE ANIMAL CAN'T /WALK/, IT'S QUALITY OF LIFE SUFFERS AND BEING PUT TO SLEEP IS BETTER FOR IT.

If an animal breaks its leg and it can be fixed, it should be fixed. End of. But if it breaks its leg or back or whatever and it can't move forever, then it should be put to sleep- it can't eat properly, can't drink properly, can't go on walks, can't wash itself, can't go outside to go to the toilet...

And yes, if I was in the situation where I was totally relient on people because I couldn't move, I would want to be put to sleep!

Answer 6

yeah...i don't know why people say that... maybe some wants to get rid of their pets and some are just asking it hoping they don't have to put them down...

Answer 7

I've never heard of this, but I guess they might as well. Give life to another pet that still hasn't lived one yet, like those in pounds. At least the one with the injury must have had a good life at some point.

Answer 8

no u should not put your rabbit down be the way how old is he???
