[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's time for kitty to cross the rainbow bridge. He is ancient and suffering. Let him end his wonderful life as pain free as you can. I'm sorry for you loss. Losing a pet is so sad, but what I find much more heartbreaking is when people refuse to let a dying pet go and make them suffer because it's "too hard" to end their suffering. [/quote]

Some of us find it more difficult to justify interfering with the natural process. If that animal was in the wild, that animal would be living. Human beings have designed many conveniences with the justification of “it’s good for them”: crating puppies, sleep training babies, putting old animals down… It’s a gray area and I am convinced that we do these more for our own convenience then lie to ourselves that it’s best for all. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn’t. [/quote]

In your hypothetical wild animals scenario, it would not live very long. Vultures circling. Hard to find water and food.

Also, animals can’t talk. Thy can’t say how much pain their are in. They mask it so well.

Because of this it is not cruel to put them down.[/quote]

Ways we interfere with "the natural process":

Having domesticated animals to begin with 
Feeding them
Playing with them
Taking them to the vet[/quote]
