You try too hard to be a hard ass. Are you planning on hand making a pine box for grandma and towing her to the cemetery on a horse drawn wagon too?

Using your line of thinking
If you break your leg--do you take a hit of whisky and bite a stick and set it yourself or go to the ER? It's your leg so you should set it yourself.
A gunshot can be a humane way of dispatching an animal but modern drugs can make it much more humane.
Are you saying that being humane equals pussified?
I was raised to handle things myself, and I'm sure the others here raised similarly will back me up on this. I see it as almost disrespectful to the animal to have some stranger be the one to end its suffering, or anyone else other than its master for that matter.Quote:

You apparently don't understand my line of thinking.Quote:

But if its time, then its time...
So do you bag all your trash and drive it to the dump as well? Where do you draw the line? I understand what you are trying to express, but are you going to prefer that your kids shoot you in the face when it's your "time?"Quote:

Wait...you mean you wouldn't want your old man to toss you in a hole and blow your brains out instead? [Dunno]Quote:
