Continuing Comments On Euthanasia for Pets
Our readers and posters continue to discuss the effects and affects of pet euthanasia.
..."Thanks for posting! I should also add that Virginia, where I'm located, has seen substantial changes in 2008 with its animal law provisions, along with a rash of hoarding and abuse cases.
The statute mandates standards of care, and vets and shelters (and possibly now judges) may refuse to put down a perfectly healthy animal.
I am very empathetic to the individual who, particularly given the economic climate, is unable to pay for the care of their animals.
But there are many, many rescues and shelters out there who are able to help -- and as my earlier comment notes -- often cage-free and in a foster situation."
