The article discusses the difficult decision of euthanizing pets suffering from mental problems, as faced by a dog owner. After trying various treatments, the owner considers euthanasia, questioning the morality of this choice and whether they must disclose the reason to others. The letter also shares a personal anecdote about an owner who had to euthanize their troubled cat and argues that when a pet's life is filled with misery and the owner's health is declining, euthanasia may be the most compassionate choice. It emphasizes that guilt shouldn't accompany such decisions, nor the need for detailed explanations to others.
When you've done everything you can and your pet is living a hellish life… the humane thing to do is to end it in a humane way.
If there is nothing left to do, and you make this choice, you shouldn't feel guilty. Nor should you feel the need to give elaborate explanations to people you know won't understand.
