NRA - I understand where you are coming from. And I am certainly not saying you are ignorant. Quite the contrary, you seem to have quite a good perspective. As I said, I realize people have different attitudes about this for any variety of reasons - only a few examples of which might be ignorance (and when I say that I only mean lack of information about veterinary methods of euthanasia or other options), upbringing, personal experience - any number of things. I too have had pets my entire life. I have raised kittens from only a couple of weeks old with bottle-feedings, I have had sick cats euthanized, I have buried many cats, and I have enjoyed having them all as my pets. Everyone has had different experiences. I have never had a well-behaved and well-trained pet go into a panic at the vet's office. I have also only seen maybe 1-2 animals behaving badly or acting frightened in the office waiting rooms during the entire time I have been taking animals to the vet. So, I am just going on what I know.
Personally I am just glad to hear that there are other people out there who actually care about animals enough to think twice about an issue like this.
I guess I'm one of those saps who does put animals on the same level as humans. We are all animals, after all. Many times I think humans are actually less intelligent and advanced than animals. I don't see my cats running around blowing each other up over some worthless strip of land or holding each other hostage. But, that is another thread entirely. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
