I was equating all of this to humane/inhumane. These are animals. They all die. Either by our hands, by the actions of some of our pets/business associates (if you're a breeder), or any number of possibilities. If an animal has to be killed, for any reason, it has to die. Don't equate this killing with human sufferage. It's an animal that has to die. Just like the chicken, beef cattle, pig, lamb or any number of fish we as humans kill all of the time. Sure, you can put varying degrees on the killing of these animals. You can take your pet to a vet and have him inject the pet with chemicals to kill it. You can chop an animal's head from it's body with an axe. You can kill your animals however you like. But in my opinion don't try to humanize this act.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't put a human face on an animal that has to die.

Just one man's opinion.
