The Controversy On Euthanizing Dogs

dignified painless death is a lot better than leaving them out to die on the streets. Also they feel that allowing a dog or cat to be subjected to abuse and neglect is inhumane and worse than death. ( Mountain, p.2 ). I totally agree with them, but resorting to euthinization is not the only solution. We should look to the pet owners and the people of our society for the solutions. Animal shelters should have campaigns to help promote the adoption of animals in their shelter. Reach out to the people of  society and let them know what kind of influence a pet can bring into their life. We shouldn't give up on these

Animal Euthanasia, is a process during which an animal is put to death. According to Humane society “about 2.4 million healthy, adoptable cats and dogs - about one every 13 seconds- are put down in U.S shelters each year.” (humane society.) The saying that dogs are a man’s best friend is often thought of when thinking of dogs, but what if I tell you the man is the dog 's best friend, or even the only friend, only family. So often we see people buying Dogs because they are so cute! and so warm/fuzzy/cuddly! and 90% of the time those dogs do not stay with this family, either they take too much time,decide to move, not enough space or the saddest one they can no longer afford it, and those dogs find their way to the shelter. The family who put their dogs in shelters think it is the best decision, but in turn, it’s really a death sentence. According to Akita Rescue, a dog has “72 hours to find a new family from the moment you drop it off.” (Anonymous) after this time the animal gets put down, So why do this to your pet? to any pet? why have them sit in a cell for no reason, other than you not having enough time or no longer wanting to take care of it; that Dog doesn 't have relatives to which he can go to when things go bad, he can 't just go to his sister, mother, father, or grandparents to that dog you are the world, and by putting your dog in the shelter the dog loses not only you but also his world.

According to the The Humane Society of the United States roughly six-million animals are handled by shelters and clinics every year; though, only four million are adopted or claimed . The other two million animals are left in these shelters until they die or are subjected to cruel practices of euthanasia. There are simply too many animals and not enough people who are open to adoption. The animal overpopulation crisis and euthanasia cruelty can be prevented by an approach called animal birth control and adopting.

It is legal for humans to decide whether or not their pet should be euthanized. These reasons may vary. According to Pet Euthanasia, people decide to put their animals down because, of inconveniences, living changes, and severe sicknesses. The owner of a pet may move their home to a different location. Many different places have different rules that may vary one including not allowing pets. In this case some owners decide to euthanize their beloved pet to simply get rid of a problem. An owner may also come across inconveniences due to their pet. For example, when leaving for a relaxing holiday vacation, the cost to board your pet would cost too much.

The first reason to consider the pro side, is that animals have the right to be euthanized when their owner and veterinarian agree that they are either too sick or old to keep on living. Humans should have the same right of autonomy to decide for themselves. Animals that do not share the same rights as human are allowed to have this right, even when they cannot make that decision

Euthanasia, defined as the act of “putting a person to painless death especially in case of incurable suffering,” is a controversial subject surrounded by many moral dilemmas (Murkey, 2008). Although euthanasia is the overarching term used to describe the act itself, within it are three principal forms: voluntary, non-voluntary and involuntary, each of which pertains to case specific issues. Following The Supreme Court’s recent decision deeming Canada’s controversial law against physician-assisted suicide unconstitutional, I will focus here on the morality of voluntary euthanasia (VE) and physician-assisted suicide (PAS), as well as the legal limitations to which their implementations shall be bound.

Each year, 2.7 million adoptable dogs and cats are euthanized in America. Too many people are breeding their pets for a quick buck, but not realizing the effect that their actions play in the animal world. As breeders and puppy mills are mass producing purebred puppies/kittens for thousands of dollars, there sits an abandoned dog/cat in a shelter who costs much less. This drastic number of euthanized animals could be reduced if Americans spay/neuter their pets and consider rescue shelters over a high-end breeder.

An example of why euthanizing is acceptable is because it ends the animals suffering.In the blog “Is it ethical to euthanize your dog?(2011) by Elliot D. Cohen,here's an example from the blog that supports my point of view.For instance,he says “Of course it was ethical.He was suffering.”(Par.5).Cohen’s quote backs up my reasoning because it’s pretty straight forward.The quote states that the animals are suffering so it’s alright to do it.Another quote from Cohen's blog that supports me is when he writes “He was unable to hold down water and began vomiting every time he drank.”(Par.2).This quote proves my statement of the animals suffering.If it couldn't

Even though euthanizing can have its benefits using it to control the dog population should not be an option. Euthanasia is not all bad in every instance that it is applied. Health issues in dogs that are clearly suffering and will die shortly can benefit from being euthanized and put out of their misery. Many dogs get injured past the point where any surgery can mend and those dogs also benefit from euthanasia.

The controversy of a doctor assisting their patient who is already dying, end their life sooner to save them from continuous unnecessary pain and agony has been the topic of controversy for years. The practice of euthanasia is in my opinion a mercy and should not be banned because in reality it doesn’t physically hurt anyone. You could say it hurts the patient but then again that patient is already in tremendous pain or in an incapacitated state of no recovery, as in paralyzed or brain damage etc., so in reality it would actually help them by assisting ending their pain by assisted suicide. A doctors job is also always help their patients and the practice of assisted suicide in many ways is actually helping the person. However there has and probably always will be people who do not agree with the idea of a dying person end their life for sooner than nature had intended. This demographic would suggest that by dying by your own hand or assisted by a physician for medical reasons is still considered plain suicide. And for the religious people it is a sin by their beliefs. The people could also argue that it is not a person’s right to make that decision.

Many are out to sleep with euthanasia. Only one out of ten dogs born will find a permanent home. Homeless animals outnumber homeless people 5 to 1. Many dogs are barely given a chance because of how they act towards other dogs. There should be more programs to rehabilitate dogs back into the real world. If they are rehabilitated they won’t be euthanized. Some euthanizations are reasonable. Like for example when the dog will not interact with humans without aggression even after some training to try to help. Also if the dog is sick and no longer comfortable living it is understandable to put them

The type of euthanasia that will be discussed is voluntary euthanasia and there are several areas which must be covered before coming to a conclusion as to whether this should be carried out. The first I'll mention is 'personhood'. This is the essence of someone which makes them a person, distinguishing between us and the animals. There are several other aspects of personhood including the ability to communicate and interact with others and also

The ethical issue is Euthanasia, there are many groups that support or oppose this issue. Euthanasia is the painless killing of a patient suffering from an incurable and painful disease or in an irreversible coma. The different viewpoints are based around whether it is humane to assist someone in dying and whether it should be illegal for someone to assist the death of someone who has a terminal illness and are suffering incurable pain. Groups that oppose the issue generally believe that it is inhumane to end someone 's life early, these groups generally believe these people should be given care and as much comfort as possible until their last days. Groups that support the issue generally believe that if someone has lost their mental state or are suffering unbearable pain that cannot be cured, that they should be allowed the option of euthanasia because it is inhumane to make someone suffer unbearable pain if they do not need to. An ethical issue brings systems of morality and principles into conflict, ethical issues are more subjective and opinionated and generally cannot be solved with facts, laws and truth. Euthanasia is an ethical issue because there are two equally unacceptable options. It is considered wrong

In the history of the world people use it in terms of hastening one death, killing disable babies. The contemporary debate of euthanasia started in 1870. Animal euthanasia brings out a topic that is it right or wrong. Reason for Euthanasia is incurable conditions, overcrowding, dangerous animals, diseases, and lack of resources to support the animal. Over 4 million animals have nowhere to go and will send the

Shouldn’t all animals have the right to live? Dogs could receive and give happiness if they were not put down. Animals do not really have a chance to actually live life.Many places simply do not have enough room for all of the animals, so they resort to euthanasia to control the population. There are many dogs and cats that are euthanized only because they take up room.
