Hmmm, I never said it was easy or casual. Even when I euthanize a cat or dog it is not easy for me. Obviously, you do not get what I am trying to say and so now I am crazy for what I believe-ok that is fine
. I believe in relieving suffering-whether it be a bird or a human. I can at least speak to what I want and I will do so (the bird not so much). This is obviously a touchy subject and I did not come here to change people's minds I just wanted to present another side. I truly hope that assisted suicide is someday legal and those who chose to die can do so legally and peacefully.
