是Animal Rights Uncompromised談安樂死
Every day in the United States, tens of thousands of puppies and kittens are
born, and there will never be enough homes for all these animals. Shelters
are stuck with the heart-wrenching job of dealing with unwanted animals.
Euthanasia is a reality because of people who abandon animals, refuse to
sterilize their animals, and patronize pet shops and breeders instead of
adopting stray animals or animals from shelters.
Some people wonder why “surplus” animals can’t simply live in shelters
instead of being killed. Even if government-sponsored and private shelters
had the resources to house the millions of homeless animals born in the
United States each year (and they don’t), “no-kill” shelters do not
provide a solution to the problem of animal-companion homelessness. Dogs,
cats, and other animal companions need much more than food, water, and a cage
or pen. They also need lots of loving care, regular and sustained
companionship, respect for their individuality, and the opportunity to run
and play. As difficult as it may be for us to accept, euthanasia (when
carried out by veterinarians or trained shelter professionals with a painless
intravenous injection of sodium pentobarbital) is often the most
compassionate and dignified way for unwanted animals to leave an uncaring
world.
死亡成為最慈悲也最有尊嚴的選擇,其實是最悲哀的事情
