Thanks for posting that. In your opinion, does this oath apply to situations where an otherwise healthy animal is brought in to be euthanized strictly for convenience's sake?

Thanks for posting that. In your opinion, does this oath apply to situations where an otherwise healthy animal is brought in to be euthanized strictly for convenience's sake? The only time I will ever euthanize a healthy animal is if he is a serious danger to the people and animals around him and training has either not helped or is not feasible. In other words, a pit bull that has a history of people-oriented aggression and where there are small children in the house would be a candidate. The same dog with no children in the house and enrolled in professional training would not be. It's very sad about Barbaro. At least he is running pain free now.
