A lot of people own pets, we’re OK with that because we know exactly where they are at all times. However, sometimes people get emotionally attached to their animals, even though they know they will outlive them. That’s where taking them (the pets) to the vet for that walk down the Green Mile before they get put to sleep comes in.
Now, you can have your pet killed in the comfort of your own home. In Minnesota, and we assume elsewhere across the country, you can have a service come to your house and euthanize your pet for you. Of course, then you have to worry about helping put your former pet into a trash bag and hauling the carcass out to their van, but hey, it beats going to the vet, right?
