Retired vet. Whenever someone brought in a perfectly healthy animal to be put to sleep, I always encouraged it to be done privately in their absence. If they agreed, I secretly sent the animal to some friends who run a rehoming centre. Still charged for the "euthanasia".
@fesshole what kind of psycho asks for a decently healthy animal to be euthanised?
@dch82 @fesshole An aunt and uncle of mine, or so I was told by mum.
@webboy42 @dch82 @fesshole oh I didn't realize what you were responding to when I hit fave. Thought you meant your aunt and uncle also saved animals from being needlessly killed.
@acatwholovesyou @dch82 @fesshole Yeah, I can’t remember the details, but they definitely weren’t the life saving kind of dog people. Don’t know if they’re still jackasses like that, because I’ve never had much to do with them since they’re the most boring people I’ve ever known.
