I promised my Little One that I would never let her suffer and she did not. She went to sleep on 21 January last year, cuddled up to me, and died in her sleep about 4.30am. Not ill, not in pain, and just one month short of her 12th birthday. But had it been necessary Dr Ram would have come here to euthanise her.
Pereg has had the same promise from me, and as she is epileptic is is possible that I might have to make that decision for her. But if and when that happens, Ram will come here.
And BS"D it will not be for a long time.
But you said in an earlier post.

My dogs are pts eating a pepperami stick or pate off a pepperami stick and are as relaxed as I can make them at home.
No reason to take a dog in to be pts.

But is this really not going off topic? Because euthanising a beloved pet is hardly the same as Halal or Kasher slaughtering, is it.

I'm pretty sure the options were like for like (ie both offered at home or both away) BUT even if it wasn't, I would still rather go to the vets than have my dogs throat slit

And yes when shot animals are dead before they hit the ground, much like halal slaughter (as I have witnessed it).

This is one of the things that saddens me about most religions - that people will just stand by (or worse, defend or do) atrocious things in the name of religion.
