Google for Portugal death penalty and you will see how proud I am besides the good food too, good weather, good people, good red wine, good bread. Just regret not having nuclear weapons so I will stay here in the UK.

Causing death is not a good thing in general but there definitely are specific exceptions. Regardless of whoever/whatever a person is, there is always something "productive" that can be fashioned from lost causes. Think about the colonization of Australia, penal colonies such as French Guyana, chain gangs in the USA south..etc... Just keep in mind that there are some fates worse than death. For any of you who have eyeballed them I'm sure you can appreciate that; For those of you who haven't, you can hug the adage of "ignorance is bliss."

This is of course something a pet cannot do, so its owner has to decide what's best. Avoiding suffering is a noble intention. |

My wife and I have always had our pets within our arms as they were killed. They knew it, we knew it, the pets we had with us knew it but we all accepted it as the right thing to do ( this is what separates a good vet from a great one..understanding/empathy and doing what's right). We also had a relative in Canada who had assisted suicide..dignity..etc.. who dealt with her circumstances with humour and understanding..we acquiesced and raised a glass..as per her request at the appointed time. This was right. Western culture is different regarding acceptance of one's eventual demise, and not in a good way, relative to other cultures. There is always emotional scar tissue but there is always growth..provided you can appreciate,encompass and evolve.
I don't know if the word "humanely" can be associated because the cruelest things that I've witnessed or learned of were done by humans. Animals could never stoop so low..and this observation is global. There are wonderful people "Dog Tails", Bob Barker's mission..and many others which I'm sure you would know of the "unsung" names. Anyways, it's a shame it's so hard for people in general and globally to do the right thing. This is the point of education and understanding. Appreciate and savour that word "heinous" because those of us that don't will, at some point involuntarily. I'm alluding to what's presently in the public eye..so 'nuff said.
