Many years ago, one of my aunts died, and her will stated that she wanted her pekinese put to sleep after she died because she believed that the dog would be miserable without her. My parents said that they had to do it because it was in the will, but I was horrified. I was a child at the time, and this bothered me for a really long time. It still does. There really should be laws passed against euthanizing a healthy animal for frivolous reasons. |
