Reply to comment by Moxie_58 in Re-homing dog who is aggressive with animals? by [deleted]

Please don't encourage people to destroy an animals quality of life just to selfishly keep them around longer. Euthanasia would be a much kinder option.

I think it’s selfish to end the life of an animal who isn’t sick or suffering. I believe that when humans made the decision to domesticate dogs, we entered into a cultural pact to care for them, similar to children. Euthanasia is a last resort. I find it sickening how you’re suggesting it as a first resort option for dogs that could have their issues treated with behavioral interventions. When all options have failed, euthanasia is an ethical option.

This person suggests removing ALL OF THEIR TEETH. How do you not find that cruel? A kind death is NOT the worst thing you can do to an animal.

I didn’t suggest that. No veterinarian dentist would remove all of a dogs teeth because they bite. That’s absurd.

Well, I wasn't responding to you, was I? I responded to the comment says that a dog can't bite without any teeth and they can eat soft food.
