That's one thing I'll never understand about some countries. Here no vet would even consider putting a healthy animal down just because it is older.
That's so cruel... humans playing God... shelters would take them and try to make sure people know he or she can be adopted. And if you wannabe adopt a pet there are several things you have to do and a home inspection to make sure the pet is going to a good home...
I am so angry right now... I don't really know what to say...
If someone had taken my dog and put him down while I was away because of reasons beyond my control... I would have lost it. . And I probably would have hurt people...
I am so sorry, Kim
