Hayley hangs up her Red Anorak

Probably, yes. Animals can't tell us how they feel, humans can. Why take the word of a vet who doesn't know the animal though? If you have a bond with an animal you would know what they want.

Your pet should have been seen by a vet on a regular basis - if only to get the regular vaccinations so the vet should know your animal!!!

I think we should stop this conversation now as it is obviously upsetting people. This thread was about Hayley and somewhere it has been overtaken by another issue. We all have our opinions and whatever side of the viewpoint they are valid to that person. We are not saying you do not love and care for your pets. It's obvious you all do.

I think it should go to it's natural conclusion. Obviously the Corrie storyline has hit a nerve not only here but with people all over the country. Airing opinions and examining issues is healthy. Not facing realtiies, such as the need to end a suffering pets life, is not.

I also think that enough has been voiced on the subject of pets and maybe leave it at that now

I'd say let everyone decide for themselves. If they have something they'd like to say, do so. If it isn't something someone wants to respond to, don't and post something different. The natural progression of discussion threads take over and it's not up to some individuals to pronounce the direction.

Then maybe another thread should be started titled "Do you believe in having pets put down or not" or something on that line under General Discussion, this is a thread on a Coronation Street spoiler

Leave it alone and let it fizzle out like most discussions eventualy do, instead of trying to dictate what people can or cannot post.

It appears to have fizzled out anyway

I mean really know them. You don't get to know an animal by administering treatment!
