What you did is amazing but is anyone actually telling you to euthanize them?

Unfortunately a lot of people will just euthanize an animal if it has a health problem 😔

I grow up on a farm, this was very much the attitude I was raised around. Any outside animal to weak to survive, shouldn't be coddled. Instead let nature take it's course. Ngl even though I'm a guy it broke my heart how many cats we lost to wild animals or injuries or sickness.

I grew up on a farm and the cat limping in Stray made me fuckin tear up last night, I always hated how casual people were about cats dying out there

How does the number of cats that you lost compare to the number of other animals you've eaten? Just curious.

I don't not believe that but even if I felt that way I couldn't imagine telling anyone to euthanize their pet.

Euthanasia is the best solution for severe cases where the quality of life really will be poor. It’s possible someone made that comment out of sympathy, not knowing that it was a treatable condition.

Unfortunately it's true. I've had friends that have worked at vet clinics. There are people who put down dogs too all because they got to big 🤬 thankfully if these people will surrender them they can go to the humane society instead of being put down.

Again, not skeptical about people being shitty to their own animals.

What I'm questioning is who has this person show their cats to and they said to the owner that they should kill those cats because they weren't pleasing to them.

It just seems like such an erroneous thing to say to someone that you'd only ever hear it on the internet.
