And I’m not talking about autopsy videos or banned stuff, I’m talking about real life experiences…

Obviously I’ve seen gore, fatalities in traffic accidents and real executions videos but never live… The closest was the body of a guy laying on the concrete from a car accident, I was in a bus going in parallel with that car, but I’m not sure if he was dead…

    I held my 14-year-old dog when he was put to sleep. I wanted him to feel loved until the moment he was gone. Putting my sadness aside so he could truly feel comforted was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life.

      I’ve been with every one of my pets when they were euthanized. It’s a horrible experience but I wouldn’t want it any other way.

      Good on you for being there. I know a vet tech and she says too many people take the easy way out and just drop them off at the vet’s office. Their sick animals spend their last few minutes scared and looking for their owners. It breaks her heart every time.

        just drop them off

        This makes me morally and physically gag

        Euthanasia is more humane than a lot of ancient humans’ last couple years.
