Euthanizing pets is another successful piece of death marketing - lots of money to be made to “end suffering.” Suffering for whom? I finally questioned that propaganda with my last pet that reached old age and was dying. I tried to keep my cat comfortable until she finally passed away on her own. We humans are afraid of watching a beloved pet die, so what do we do??? Go have someone else kill it for us. Doesn’t make sense to me any more, especially now that I am getting to be an old lady.
I am a Conservative that is heartbroken by the millions of healthy cats dogs that are killed by humane societies every year.
Thankfully we have good people like Mark Levin that are in agreement with me.
I know this is not the direction the thread was meant to take, it was that we generally put our pets out of their misery hopefully before they suffer too much at the end of their life.
Just that this is not the case, more healthy animals... Cats and dogs are destroyed/killed each year by so called “shelters” Spca`s etc then people realize
There are more healthy cats and dogs killed in so called shelters than their are Pets in the USA.
So I just dont accept the premise of the original question
Good link.
Are you wanting his phone number?
Also? I hope you don't mean like yourself.
One has to understand that old people are pure gold to the medical industry...nothing more.
YES! If someone is terminally ill and in pain and wishes to end his/her misery, they should have free choice to do so. I would do so if (and when) my time comes too.
It’s amazing to watch someone who is totally distraught over their cat dying a slow death and then “do the right thing” to put it down to end its misery...but would not do so for an elderly relation that is in a horrible world of pain and misery simply because it is perceived that it is wrong. It is especially wrong if the dying person pleads and begs to end their misery.
I don’t particularly care what “bible thumpers” think about this but when (and if) they are in terrible misery (and worse yet) placed on a machine until they finally die and could not speak or indicate in any way their wishes to be put to sleep, reap the rewards themselves of a living hell they foist on others in their condemnation of the wishes of others.
It all comes down to money for the elderly are the “cash cow” to all facets of the medical, insurance and pharmaceutical industries. They should have a banner flying over each industry stating “Don’t kill them...we are not done with them yet!”
Sorry about the post. From my too quick skim of the article I thought at first he was pro-euthanasia.
Sincere apologies are offered.
thanks, shoebot is a frequent guest of Mike Savage. I know one born again on this thread likes savage, I wonder if they like shoebot and his article?
and then there is this oldie

some FReeper should look in the mirror and at their own religion before they defame others. And how many Freepers have advanced graduate degree from Yale and are neuroscientists? I bet very few.

I stopped listening to him when he wrote that book and started talking about it and his experience.
The problem why we have so many cats, healthy or otherwise, is because there are too many lunatics feeding feral cats every day. A sane person understands that they are part of the wild like rats, mice, skunks, etc. and it’s part of nature that they die. Once you feed them, the balance of nature is off.
Catholic ping!
And then there was Teri Schiavo.
Murdered by starvation/dehydrdation.
Do that to an animal and you go to prison for years.
You wrote: “Perform an abortion on a human - no problem; try it with an animal and PETA will use the courts to have you put in jail).”
Perhaps the pro-abortion folks will join Peta in the ‘spay & neuter’ before letting the little human biped animals get to breeding age.? (Hopefully sarcasm that will not come true.)
go pss up a stump
thanks for proving me right.
you are welcome
“I know one born again on this thread likes savage,”
What do you mean by “born again”?
