[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What breaks my heart is that families can’t be present for euthanasia for surrendered dogs.

I have needed to humanely euthanize four of my dogs, and I have been there with them until the very end. I held them all in my arms and made sure they felt loved.

Euthanasia at a vet can be expensive (my last one was close to $500) so my wish is that if the county offers the service and a family wishes to be present that they should be so that their dogs don’t die alone, scared and feeling unloved. [/quote]

You don’t even want to know how these dogs get euthanized at the county shelter facility, poster. It is not the experience you are familiar with wherein a single dog is injected with paralytic and then the drug that stops their heart.

That’s why the people aren’t allowed to be there. In many counties still, especially in the south, multiple dogs are put into a container (that is basically a metal dumpster) at the same time and they howl and bark and scrabble over one another while they are gassed by the exhaust from a county vehicle. No, I am not making this up - you can find video in various documentaries and online.

3-4 million dogs and cats are euthanized at shelters every year, there is no way they can afford to individually euthanize each animal in a loving, quiet and humane atmosphere. That’s the very brutal reality of shelters across this country and it’s the biggest reason why buying cats and dogs while 4 million die horrible deaths is just not the right moral choice.

I’m sorry, but that was so graphic. I couldn’t read too much of it. My heart cannot bear it.[/quote]
