Euthanized Dog Comes Back To Life

[Joshua Howard]

He isn't being illogical. He has been through the grief of putting his dog down and now realises how much it pained him to do so, possibly he didn't realise until after the dog was dead just how much pain it would cause him and his family. Now they have to go through the pain all over again or else let the dog suffer as it was previously suffering.

In my mind, you'd darn well better get past the pain and grief phase long before you start off on something. I guess it is human nature to live without counting the costs. Just ask the credit card companies. I'll shut up now, before I drag this topic any more off topic.

God and Dog are very much alike...

Very often, you don't have time to get pass the pain and grief before having to decide on a course of action. In fact often those decisions concerning some person's or some pet's suffering before death have to be made when grief of people that love them is at its worst.

The euthanized dog should have kicked the vet's ass for not finishing the job correctly the first time.

Have you ever had a family pet that you had to make that decision for?

I'm guessing you haven't been there before.

You are right. I haven't.

First of all, I'm not saying that people shouldn't kill their pets if that is the most cost-effective or merciful option.

If you have to choose between your pet suffering until it dies and killing it immediately, or if you have to choose between repairing your damaged pet and putting food on the table for your family, then I guess the correct solution is pretty obvious.

My only objection is to the psychological soft-footing which gets applied to things like this. Folks try to come up with a way to face the problem without having to address it head on. It's like meat at the supermarket. Everybody eats it, but half of the city folks who buy meat wouldn't have the stomach to kill and dress an animal if it wasn't delivered to them prepared with a bar code on it.

Case in point: The guy whose dog reawakened admitted that he wasn't sure what he would do in the aftermath of the failed killing. This proves his inferior mental condition. If it was logical to snuff the dog out yesterday, what makes it less logical to snuff the dog out a second time today? Obviously, he wanted to get the job done without having to face the reality of what he was doing. There is emotional compromise at play here, and the way I see it, the concept of mixing killing and sympathy together is ridiculous and embarassing.

Wow.

I don't like the idea of mercy killings, whether it is animals or people. It just seems somehow unethical in a sickening kind of way


Why the hell do folks say "I had my dog euthanized"? They say it because it somehow soothes their super-sensitive feelings; as if giving it to someone else to kill in a special way behind closed doors makes the act deserving of a different term. Foolishness! Just tell it like it is. "I killed my dog because its life isn't worth paying for, and I'd rather have Starbucks than pay for dog costs. If it comes to life again, I'll fill it full of bullets or smash its skull." Of course, nobody says that... because we want to believe some hogwash about happy places in which there is a soft, appealing term for everything. The people who "euthanize" dogs are also the people who believe that ham is made by happy smiling animated disney character pigs that never die. You "put your animal to sleep"? Liar! YA KILLED IT!

There is no more twisted perversion that the subtle self-tricking which weak-minded people do to themselves through illusion; and it usually works, except for in cases like this when their fragile, weak sensitivities are forced to become fully aware of reality.

No, he's talking out of his ass.
