My point is this. If a pet owner can direct a vet to kill an animal, why can’t the owner do it with the same impunity. Had this guy flooded the cage with nitrogen and gently put the pups to sleep permanently before he burrieid them, would everone be OK with that?
Understood. I don’t have a problem if an animal needs to be put down by the owner, but burying alive seems pretty cruel. I realize dogs aren’t sentient, but they aren’t mindless lower life forms like insects, for example. The owner should provide a swift and painless death if at all possible.
