Hayley hangs up her Red Anorak

[GloriaW]

When I've put my animals down, it hasn't been about what I want or can cope with, it's been about ending their suffering. Pain is pain and we all have the same nervous systems. I really pity the animals of people who won't put them to sleep when they're dying in agony

I couldn't stand by and not help my pet who was suffering. That would have been worse then anything. Too often it's pet owners who haven't the courage to take the step and instead will let the animal linger on suffering. That's not compassion, that's selfish irresponsibility to me.
