Ratreeper 441 Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 I can understand why people put a dog to sleep that is in pain etc, but can i just confirm that people actually PTS a healthy dog just because its slowing down a bit due to age? If that's what people are trying to defend then you are a f*****g disgrace to dog owners, c**ts Quote Link to post Share on other sites

romany52 313 Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 I've rehomed and regretted it, I've kept them in retirement and regretted it, I've got two fell terriers 14 years old, can't wait for them to shuffle off. The only ones I haven't regretted are the ones I've put down . Working dogs aren't meant to be old, when did you ever see an old decrepid wild animal, and for folks that kill for a sport or pastime to criticise others that take responsibility for their working dogs once they've finished is hypercritical, after all one life is worth no more or less than any other, might only be a rabbit but it's the only life it's ever going to have. At least with a retired working dog it's had a life, and do you really believe they enjoy retirement ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ideation 8,216 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Theres a difference between old and in pain and leading a crappy life and just old and tired after a long life of work. . . . some of those dogs really DO enjoy a fire side spot and a slow pace of life. Shooting them because their taking up space is a bit cold is it not. Obviously this doesn't apply to hunt kennels etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stabba 10,745 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 So its ok for hunt kennels to pts old hounds but not your average man on the street? Some people just dont have the room to keep elderly/retired dogs on. I certainley agree that some dogs take better to retirement than others but its down to the individual whether he chooses the path of pts his/her ageing animal...atb stabba 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
