I've had quite a few pets in my lifetime. With the exception of my first cat that was run over on the road when I was a boy, I've paid veterinarians to euthanize every one of my beloved companions. As they reached the end of their lives, they were suffering with one disease or another. I felt the ethical thing to do was to have them put out of their misery. I doubt that human euthanasia will become legal in Canada in my lifetime but if my quality of life gets as bad as that of my precious pets, I'll be wishing it was. My big problem is with pet owners who fail to spay or neuter their animals and the classified ads for free kittens is testament to the overpopulation of unwanted house cats. My vet will euthanize kittens for $20. When someone tries to push one of their unwanted kittens on me, I offer them $20 to have it killed humanely. So far, nobody's taken up my offer. Instead, they drive out to the country and dump the poor creatures where they'll either starve or be easy prey for coyotes or other predators.
