iwas poiting out that we'd rather put an animal out of its pain than a human rather than saying we kill animals too readilly.

im not a particular lover of animals in anyways or form but my dog had a stroke a few years ago, couldn;t walk, could hardly see and couldn't stop itself doing the toilet. we had him put down straight away.

My gran had a stroke a few years ago too. pretty much the same situation but shes stuck in a home for quite possibly the rest of her life not really knowing whats happening and it's no way to live.

i've said on several occasions that when my time comes i'd rather do it by myself than die in a hospital or in a home and i mean it.
