    He touched it. Get it?


    I remember a farmer told me once, they cut out their genitals (testicles I think) to make them less angry. I'm not entirely sure but it had to do with something lessening their dominant behaviour among female animals. Correct me if I'm wrong.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Instead of looking after pet as you would for any other member of the family, you take your pet to the vet and are having it "put down". You KILL your pet - the one you "LOVE" - dog, cat, horse...etc.

    How can you kill a live creature that you love ? WHY ?
    Because last time I checked a cat/dog/goldfish/horse can't turn to you and say "I'm in immense pain" and also because veterinary bills are rather expensive - my last dog was going to need $5000 of surgery and there was still a good chance that it wouldn't 'fix' her health problems. She'd been through three weeks of pain and couldn't hold down food or water. Are you suggesting that we we're better off doping her up on pain killers and having her on an IV drip in a cage for the rest of her life? We did the best thing we could given the diagnosis and "put her down" - administered euthanasia.

    It's not like we beat the shit out of her til she stopped breathing. She was given an injection and experienced no extra pain to stop her from enduring the rest of her life in intense pain.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    This is why we do it Toto:

    The Last Battle
    If it should be that I grow frail and weak,

    And pain should keep me from my sleep,

    Then will you do what must be done,

    For this, the last battle, can't be won.



    You will be sad I understand,

    But don't let grief then stay your hand,

    For on this day, more than the rest,

    Your love and friendship must stand the test.



    We have had so many happy years,

    You wouldn't want me to suffer so.

    When the time comes, please, let me go.


    Take me to where to my needs they'll tend,

    Only, stay with me till the end



    And hold me firm and speak to me,

    Until my eyes no longer see.

    I know in time you will agree,

    It is a kindness you do to me.


    Although my tail its last has waved,

    From pain and suffering I have been saved.



    Don't grieve that it must be you,

    Who has to decide this thing to do;

    We've been so close,we two, these years,

    Don't let your heart hold any tears.

    Don't judge until you've had to make the impossible decision to do it yourself. I sent my most beloved Boxer to the Rainbow Bridge five years ago this very day. It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life, but it was clear to me given his congestive heart failure that it was also the kindest thing to do. I stayed with him for over an hour before the end, talking to him and reminiscing, telling him how much I loved him and all about the fun things we'd done together. It was the last thing I could do for him in life to show my care and respect. He died with his best friend at his side with dignity, and I had a chance to say goodbye.

    RIP Spencer ADX CDX - I still shed tears for you even now.

    That much was obvious from your first post. Until you have owned a pet that becomes part of the familiy you won't get it. Once you do you will.

    Fact of life,if the animal is in pain it usually costs less to inject than repair.Dad had an alsation,he managed to run it over with tractor(was winter and ground really soft)dog yelped and limped but later in the arvo was running fine,they had a vet out to a horse and she said the dog was fine,albeit tractor shy lol.

    Also the reality is with animals it does come down to cost of treatment,and the quality of life for it,shame humans are not treated with dignity if terminally ill.

    FYI, I know of someone who has paid $5,000 to save his dog. Hope that helps.

    I know someone who is considering a similar thing, dog has buggered back hips, apparently they can rotate the whole pelvis so the hip of one leg is more central, and the other leg will just be along for the ride, sounds a bit strange, and it may well be kinder to put her down, what do you guys reckon?

    Our cat is a bit of a hunter and was watching the neighbors hens.

    Neighbor comes out and boots it halfway across his lawn.

    $1000 to fix broken pelvis, cheap at the fact that I also broke said neighbors nose and jaw.
    I lost the plot at seeing him do what he did.

    Cat is young and I couldn't see the point in putting her down. I would and have only put pets down when
    there is really no other option (dog having non-stop epelictic fits)

    at the end of the day no animal owner wishes to put to sleep a valued member of the family.
