Actually......... I'm gonna come in against the grain here and say that there are a LOT of animal charities out there who try to "save" everything, and that isn't always the most humane thing to do.
The problem is that they are often afraid to euthanise because oh dear it's terribly sad but little Mary's pet pony isn't there any more when she comes to see it, and ohh that is soooh cruel that "they killed it". Instead of saying OK so the pony had laminitis, it had breathing problems, it was in constant pain because of mobility issues, and it was just plain old and ready to go for pity's sake, and the kindest thing to do was PTS.
I am aware of a charity that rescues dogs in Cyprus; and there are a lot of dogs out there having puppies who cannot find homes anywhere. They used to rehome to the UK much more than they do now - but because of COVID, the economy, fees involved in getting them out of Cyprus etc etc., these poor little pup's are likely to spend their lives in a Shelter. Yes realise it is unpalatable, but one cannot help feeling that there would be a kinder solution than to condemn them to living all their lives in a "captive" environment...........???
I'm also involved with a national Cat charity as a Fosterer - have personally had to be there when we've euthanised cats who test positive for FLV who've been brought in as ferals. We can only rehome cats with this disease if they never go outside, and it just isn't kind to do this with a feral, so if a feral cat comes in with this condition we have no alternative but to euthanase if it is obvious that it isn't going to settle to being in effect shut in for the rest of its life. No it isn't "nice", but what else can we do.
For once, I actually see where PETA are coming from.
I do wonder if keeping a dog in kennels for months and sometimes years, is,
a) in the dogs best interest, and b) cost effective
.
But the "PETA kills animals" thing is more that they don't attempt to rehome the vast majority of animals that come into their care, healthy or not, and openly state that they are better off dead than being pets at all. Pets are slaves, they would be better dead than slaves etc etc etc its deeply weird and a fair enough thing to have a problem with. Not that I think we need a thread on it as its fairly common knowledge that PETA are weirdos.
Yes if you have Netflix and its still available watch In the Dog House.I hate the words 'kill shelters' because even if they are only held there for, in the old days it was fourteen days, they had an opportunity to be rehomed, like our own slightly mad collieX. I can imagine what it must be like for staff when the time comes, and they haven't got a home.
It is like termination of pregnancy, it may be the best solution when there are few choices,
Hmmm.! Meeting my beloved animals again is ,to be quite honest ,going to end in an Irish draught style punch up. WHY IS HE WEARING MY SADDLE!,.... THATS MY BEST EXERCISE SHEET. You left it in my horsebox .Who,s horsebox !My rug just makes your arse look big ! And so it starts. St Peter intervenes and a chorus of voices shout ,"its all mikes fault". Ahhh says St peter , he,s not on my list ,so sort it out .
My animals have always stayed with me until the end of their lives. In all cases, I have, supported by trusted veterinary advice, been with them at the end.
I'm old (late seventies) now.
My horse is old, too. Both of us are in good physical health, if a little eccentric, mentally speaking. His safe ending is guaranteed by his breeder, with whom he is stabled.
My cat is a different matter. Having had cats all my life, I was surprised to be informed by my local RSPCA that I was unsuitable to have another of their rescue cats "because you live on a boat". That hadn't been a problem for the preceeding ten years when I had rehomed a FiV cat, who lived a further five years with me, and another cat with kidney damage who managed another five years.
So - a friend found me the imperious feline fiend I currently serve, who was a terrorised stray on an unpleasant local slum estate.
He's gradually becoming more confident and friendly, and his health has improved 100%. He's 13. He's not the easiest cat: he is somewhat wary of people and can be physically aggressive if he is not being handled in a tactful manner.
If I die before him, he's down to be looked after by Cat's Protection with a hefty dowry to smooth his path.
Perhaps I should specify that he should be pts if I die before him?
What do you think? I believe we will meet all our beloved animals again, so at we will all be safe and well together, forever.
PETA = People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
How is killing 43 thousand animals, mostly within 24hrs of receiving them (illegal action btw), many in good health, over a 23yr period, amounting to 83% of the total intake of animals into their ‘shelter’, ethical?
This is blatant killing for the sake of it. They dont consider the animals needs at all - just pursuing an agenda to eradicate ‘pets’ from humanity.
Im shocked at these verified stats to be honest - i knew they were somewhat hard-lined but this info has completely altered my view of the organisation.
Im all for animal welfare - they dont even attempt to rehome the animals they ‘receive’ - many stolen/manipulated from owners to give-up their animals promising a better future, knowing full well they’ll pts within hours.
They were sued successfully for stealing a dog from someones porch and settled the lawsuit for 50k (they had porch cam as proof of the theft), but to rub salt in the wound, they returned to the owner with a fruit basket, to tell the owners their dog was dead. What is that but sociopathic deranged behaviour?
Ethical treatment is a handy marketing slogan for shady fascist mass killing with intent.
Animal welfare isnt being considered when pets are often times lured from unsuspecting owners by non animal lovers with the intent to kill them, spending their last hours likely frightened and concerned, and peta folks parading the streets looking for dumpsters to dispose of the euthanised bodies.
Sickening.

hi,
have to be honest, yes you probably are better off euthanising him. Sorry to have to say it.
its carefully worded. They never put a healthy animal down or something along those lines.
once that healthy animal has a cut, scrape, a sniffle - even if it’s treatable- it’s no longer, classed as healthy. Therefore they are within their rights to euthanise even if it’s treatabl.

I’m not great with technology but hopefully this link works. Also, I was referring to the wording of their policy- they do have the right to euthanis if it even has a small injury or issue.
that’s what is in the contract.
I don't read tabloids and I'm not making an exception for you. I regularly take in cats who are at the end of their lives - the old ones, the frail ones, the decrepit ones, the mildly incontinent/might not remember to use the litter tray as opposed to the sofa ones, in short the ones who nobody else wants because they're getting ready to cross over. They spend their final months in a caring home environment, wanting for nothing. As such, I've seen the wing where my local Cats Protection houses their more vulnerable residents. There, along with the very old, are the survivors of cars and dogs and fireworks and general acts of human awfulness. Missing eyes, absent limbs, scarred for life very special care required sorts of cats, all of whom who are alive solely because Cats Protection got them to a vet in time. The right to euthanise doesn't equate to an automatic intent to use it. So you, and your tabloid, can frankly bog off.
