When I ran the shelter here for 6 years,I had to be the one to decide who lived and who died,and it hurt me more than you know.I held them and our Vet.euth.but I made sure they were not scared if at all possible,I wanted them to feel loved and die peacefully as possible,they deserved that.I have had to make that decision with my own pets and although it broke my heart,it was best for them,not me,your pet should never suffer ,if you can help it ,do so.I cried enough tears to fill a river and that's ok,it was never a easy decision to make and although I saw thousands die,I do feel I made a difference because for a lot of them it was only time in their lives they ever felt love.
