re: And if you had a dog that was permanently crippled...
R.L. says: "Unable to walk, or even eat on its own. Kept alive by pumping food into it through a hole in its belly. Only capable of just laying there twitching. What would you do? What if you took the poor creature to one veterenarian after another and they all assured you that it was impossible for the poor thing to ever make improvement. It would continue life hooked up to a feeding tube- just laying there."
Of course what I would do is make sure it died from dehydration, it's the only decent and humane way of killing a dog.
R.L. says: "Terri has no cereberal cortex."
Of course you wouldn't say this unless you have proof, right?
