And that is why …

.. every single rescue is worth it. Look at her. She’s so precious. Saved, despite her health issues, from the Houston/TX (kill) shelter.

And again, the random (ab)use of the word “Euthanasia” ..

.. for the mass murder of animals, basically worldwide, has become fashionable, and implies to uneducated readers that you’re actually doing the poor creatures a favour.
That may be so, in VERY few cases, like Mark said with Turkey, “Dogs that are in pain, terminally ill or pose a heath risk would be euthanised“, but it is certainly not applicable to the young, and/or healthy. Done away with because they are considered surplus, unwanted etc.

Next thing we’ll hear is that animals are no longer slaughtered, but “euthanised”.
Let’s be clear here: if you kill a human, even with the best intention in the world (terminally ill, extreme suffering, etc.) and call it “Euthanasia” – you are a murderer. End of.

Language is so important. Racism/Speciesim/the subjugation of women – it all started with the language. And when it comes to animals, the abuse (of language) clearly knows no bounds. But we’ll cover that in a separate post. Soon.
