In my opinion, it is inhumane to allow a pet to suffer in it's final days. I have had to put down my best friends too many times, and though it brings tears and heartache, I know I did the right thing. Pets are unable to sign "do not resuscitate" orders and cannot request that caregivers do not use extraordinary means to keep their bodies alive when their spirit wishes to leave. It is an act of unselfish love to end a pet's suffering.
