It's crazy to think about, isn't it? I knew a lady who euthanized her dog because he was 'too much trouble.' He was a little dachshund, only around a year old. I can understand not being able to keep a pet, but why euthanize it? Why not give it to someone else? I know that's not always possible, but it was in this case. It was a young and healthy dog. I don't think I spoke to her after that. I didn't know about this until it was already done. :(

I wouldn't want to be a vet. The whole job sounds horrible. I volunteered at a veterinary hospital in high school because I was considering becoming a vet, and it was not fun. The vet I worked with was so cynical and burned out it was awful to see. You are expected to care for innocent animals, but to do so you have to ask people for money that they may not have, and then what? Veterinary costs can be as much, if not more, than healthcare costs for people. This is a real problem. I did actually have a vet who committed suicide. :(

This was more depressing than I meant it to be. Sorry!
