I've had 4 best friends (dogs) become too old and we had to put them down. Never wanted to be there. In the old days, which was part of my growing up, the humane way was to shoot it..... You could do this back then. Vets make it easier, but experiencing the life and death of a pet is a valuable experience in life. I've wondered about vets used as end-of-life purposes. Is it right? That's why it may be best to keep this duty close to home instead of contracting it out to someone else. I'm always concerned about the purposeful obfuscation between animal and human life. When it is personal, there's no escaping it. You experience it. It's a necessary part of life. The false teaching that "we" are all animals is a deception for an impersonal end.
That's why I didn't go into veterinarian. I cannot handle it.
For your pet (dog or cat.... other)? For putting it down?
Yes. I guess someone else have to do the dirty job. It's hard.

Vets don’t make it easier…
I thank God for helping me to do that for my dogs. I couldn't even watch. It was too difficult for me.
It's always been very difficult for me when it comes to death.
