ive picked up a rock on a squirrel i hit with my car and pulled over to check on
the quality of those animals lives was at its lowest form, and out of respect for their suffering they were euthanized in ways that some may find brutal, but others find a normal part of life
ive also seen the looks in the eyes of the people who commited these acts and the sorrow and loss they feel is as great as any other owner, the respect they showed that animal in its final moments was greater than anything a guy with a white coat and a needle could offer
but hey, judge away, i know i judge the shit out of all of you
I agree. The guy may be a sicko, but euthanasia is euthanasia, and the dog didn't suffer any more than necessary because of the method he chose.
The only problem I see is this guy taking the dog's life in his hands instead of letting the owner do it.
I've had to extinguish a squirrel with my shoe before, believe me, that squirrel was thankful (in whatever capacity squirrels have for that kind of feeling), and I know I was doing the right thing.
