Is Euthanasia a Viable Component of Estate Planning for Animal Owners

Posted on June 28, 2010 by Danny Meek

The issue of euthanasia for pets continues to bring new and different comments from the readers.

Here is the latest post:

    As an owner of an animal, do we have the right legally to euthanize our healthy pet due to a health issue, death, or loss of income.

   1) I agree caging a dog that has never been crated is cruel and they can lose sanity within a certain amount of time.


   2) Risking that the adopter will be kind and loving is an ongoing torture for the previous owner. 3) Getting lost by the new owner is more mental and emotional torture for the previous owner.

   Life doesn't guarantee humans a steady smooth course and sometime we must sacrifice giving away our beloved pets.


   My question is as a pet owner do we have the right to put our healthy pet down if we fear for its safety and well being?

   What If we feel, no one will love them and care for them the way we did?


   After death we know where our pet is and our belief is that they are in a better place and at peace.

   I would like to know what other readers feel about this.
