What chills me to the bone is maybe the reason we don’t do painless is we want to punish beyond that act of ending the life. At some brutal awful level some of us want the suffering or a “lesson” to be made, All in either latent masochism or desire for roman spectacle.

Feeling like a rant-
For the sake of our own moral center can we not at least be as kind as we are to a sick animal?

This is really upsetting me deeply. But once in a while a shout can be cathartic. Sorry for the bold.
