To allow an animal or human to suffer when that suffering can be relieved is inhumane. I am an athiest, so religion and god do not cloud my mind on this. When caring for an animal I always ask this "am I doing this for the good of the animal or myself?"<BR/><BR/>I am glad that Bak Bak is at peace.Everycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356564928470972448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14997057.post-38379872005738438572008-11-18T11:59:00.000+08:002008-11-18T11:59:00.000+08:00Oh dear, this is a shock to me...

What's the point of living (if you can call that living) if you are stuck to your bed totally bedridden on a life support system without which you will surely die, and with no chance of recovery in the next decade?<BR/><BR/>In the current debate about euthanasia, I am 2 hands up supporting it. Religious issues do not cloud my mind as I do not believe in religion.KXBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02215821865859902946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14997057.post-30206090650681559572008-11-17T00:50:00.000+08:002008-11-17T00:50:00.000+08:00I'm glad Bak Bak woke up to say goodbye.

Simply because I will want him not to suffer anymore, especially if he is in pain (though no one really knows for sure if he is indeed suffering).<BR/><BR/>TO me, euthanasia is not about me being at peace. It will be for him. For him to be at peace. I will continue to suffer from losing him. But that's all right as long as he is at peace.<BR/><BR/>But then there is no right answer. No one can ever say if that has been the best decision made. In this case, time won't tell.KXBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02215821865859902946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14997057.post-15969367718618797622008-11-12T13:20:00.000+08:002008-11-12T13:20:00.000+08:00Bak Bak is now free from suffering.Our condolence ...Bak Bak is now free from suffering.<BR/>Our condolence to all in the animal family.<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>Chaos & CatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14997057.post-23450469902162709022008-11-12T09:27:00.000+08:002008-11-12T09:27:00.000+08:00i think Bak Bak meowed to say his Good Bye, and i ...i think Bak Bak meowed to say his Good Bye, and i think you did right by not choosing euthanasia.
