You all deal with the death of animals everyday. However, in a culture like that in North America where the "animals are divine spiritual beings" and "animals are people too" beliefs are the minority, I would question the mental health of a vet who TRULY believes that putting a bird "to sleep" is the same as putting a human "to sleep." That does not mean that some vets would not medically assist a suicide if need be. But, your post implied that the vet factor matters such that "a death is a death is a death" as though assisting with a person's death is automatically and always so easy and casual.
