Whenever one of y'all Yankees use one of those $5 words I know theres gonna be a dead grandmother somewhere, but Kudos(hows that for a $5 word?) for your Bovine Imagery.

When Bessie has cancer and is miserable and asks to be put to death, then it'll be the same thing. And when two of her fellow cows agree, the ones with medical degrees, and they put their hooves on the documents, we'll be on the same side.Sid Schwabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182853083503404098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-29342858828522074122008-10-15T18:13:00.000-07:002008-10-15T18:13:00.000-07:00My dear Uncle George died a few days ago of lung c...My dear Uncle George died a few days ago of lung cancer, and even with lots of narcotics and sedatives it was still not an easy death. He was 84, and he chose not to treat the cancer (he died a week after diagnosis). Even with the best palliative care available he died in air hunger, and it was a mercy if the drugs accelerated his death. If he had chosen to consciously speed his own death I think that would have been an understandable and reasonable choice.<BR/> And Frank, killing a mammal for it's meat isn't the same, as we didn't serve Uncle George up at the memorial service.Devorrahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14542045173559671539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-17171173943844799982008-10-15T17:39:00.000-07:002008-10-15T17:39:00.000-07:00But using the same logic, since Animals don't have...But using the same logic, since Animals don't have abortions, then we shouldn't either? I mean, even a King Cobra won't get an abortion. O.K. I know, plenty of species eat their young, so my argument falls apart there...Just sayin, replace your lethal dose of wateva with a Captive Bolt device like Bessie gets at the stockyards, cause its the same thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-82993074566673795132008-10-15T17:20:00.000-07:002008-10-15T17:20:00.000-07:00I've always wondered why it's considered humane to...I've always wondered why it's considered humane to kill an animal/pet because its suffering is too great, yet we don't allow the same for humans.<BR/><BR/>Like abortions, it's a personal decision that should be honored.belovedparrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15821854533670618073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-47634504761604166822008-10-15T12:01:00.000-07:002008-10-15T12:01:00.000-07:00Dr. Schwab,This is a very thoughtful post.Dr. Schwab,<BR/>This is a very thoughtful post.Justine Johnston Hemmestadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16173113744180112355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-10003759661308625852008-10-15T08:37:00.000-07:002008-10-15T08:37:00.000-07:00Wow, and I thought my Blog was creepy.

Isn't there some Oath, Hippo-something or other, about not giving deadly drugs...Yeah, I know, it forbids surgery, and abortions, and its not legally binding anyway. How about that thing that guy used in "No Country for Old Men"? alot of people get dysphoric with Narcs. Oh yeah, I'm still waiting for your Electoral Vote prediction :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
