I’ve grown up around dogs and other animals. I just don’t act all self-righteous when the result is the same...putting an animal out its misery. Especially when that very act is pretty common on farms and ranches to a lot of animals. To each their own, but I also don’t believe that pets are fur-children or fur-babies...they are pets. Hell, if the SHTF, I’d even go from being a dog owner to a rancher, cause eating is important.
I suppose many here, when faced with that choice, might make the same decision; let’s hope it never comes to that.
