That's totally up to you - I'm not saying anyone SHOULD be putting their animals down. I've actually never euthanized a chicken due to ill health or injury, I've always given them the chance to live, although I've never had a sick chicken linger longer than a few days before either getting better or dying. But I did have an elderly cat euthanized when she had developed an inoperable tumor in her liver, once it reached the point where she stopped eating and was hiding in closets - both signs that an animal is preparing to die - and when she was drinking constantly because, according to the vet, she could no longer keep herself hydrated due to some side effect of the tumor. At that point, I felt it seemed that she'd lost the desire to live and euthanasia was the most compassionate thing I could do for her. This, by the way, was after spending a lot of money on surgery for her a year before when the first operable tumor showed up.Have you ever wanted to die.." Say two weeks of some sickness beyond your control.. Or some god awful upbringing.. Or the fact you are blessed with talent of taking life no one should ever have.. I have. Nine weeks in a coma.. crippled when I tried getting out of bed because I felt good. Like a pancake on the floor.. Polio through Scarlet Fever.. and I just wanted to live.. Life is precious, animal, vegetable, mineral.. " And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out." Because they were all living things.. as you are as well.. Postscript: My brother who dotes on his animals, put down two dogs I know of because of old age.. Suffering I am sure was the reason or excuse.. I will not do so if it can be avoided! I stand by my words.. Words actually mean things.
Actually, most fruit-bearing plants produce fruit because it entices animals to eat it. They digest the fruit, the seeds pass through intact and are deposited far away where they have a chance to grow out of the shadow of the parent plant. The equation is different for vegetables and many other plants, as I and others have pointed out in earlier comments, but fruit is the big counter-example of plants suffering by being eaten.Plants scream.. you just can't hear them scream.. I once attended an abandon apple orchard as a child. I warned everyone they were angry.. you could hear them grown.. and that they were.. Pain is what we caused picking their fruit.. and eating it in their presence. This is not a nice place..
Logic. Finally. Thank you.Actually, most fruit-bearing plants produce fruit because it entices animals to eat it.

Yeah catching up now and rapidly losing interest in this whole thread. You guys are both giving me a headache - and there's plenty of stones being thrown on both sides. Y'all keep saying you're done arguing but no one seems willing to let it go.Did you read the rest of what transpired? You’re chastising the wrong person.
