TIL you can't just have a dog euthanized without a "medical reason"

@lurker Which country is this? Because in my state a decade ago a friend's father put a pregnant dog down simply out of convenience

@mathlover@qoto.org @lurker@qoto.org Might be UK, you have to have a medical reason to put down an animal. It applies to all animals, not just dogs or cats. I had a kitten with FIP, so vet and us knew he will die. Even then you cannot expedite the process until there is a sufficient reason to believe that animals quality of life was negatively affected by the illness, as in he is in pain and distressed.

@maid @lurker In this respect the UK sounds lovely for animals. Here things are unfortunately far too loose, or at least they were last I checked
