I have acquired two rescue dogs that were deserted by their former owners. They are the sweetest creatures I have ever known. It is sad how some individuals treat animals like property or worse. My hope is that more people will get informed about this subject.

Comment on Euphemisms for killing by Cat Lady

It seems that I am not alone in asking that the killing of healthy animals not be called “euthanasia”. I happened upon this blog today: http://withrespecttoanimals.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2009-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-08%3A00&updated-max=2010-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-08%3A00&max-results=1

John, even if you apply the expanded definition “good death”, what the WHS does is not euthanasia. There is nothing good about the death provided by the WHS. The word euthanasia is used by “kill shelters” to imply that they are doing something merciful or good. It is, therefore, a euphemism.

I don’t mean to in any way support euthanasia for healthy animals simply because of a lack of room, but the premise here is incorrect. “Euthanasia” is not a euphemism, nor does it exclusively mean a “mercy killing” to end suffering - you can check a dictionary rather than take my word for it. Take a look at the Oxford English Dictionary, for example. Euthanasia simply means a gentle and easy death, or a “good death” to literally translate the Greek. It does not necessarily mean that the the death was to end the suffering of sickness.
