Does the American Humane Society consider euthanasia appropriate?
The mission statement of the American Humane Society states that its aims are to "focused on preventing cruelty, neglect and exploitation of animals". This seems to say that they will do anything they can to prevent animals being abused or neglected. They probably don't think euthanasia is appropriate, but what other choice do they have? Unfortunately, it seems like euthanasia is necessary. One of the programs that the Humane Society runs is called "Getting to Zero". This program has the aim of ending euthanasia of healthy and treatable animals. This rather shows that the Humane Society does not consider euthanasia appropriate in some circumstances. They are trying to reduce the 3.7 million healthy dogs and cats that are euthanised annually to zero. That seems like a pretty huge goal, and one that shows the Society doesn't think euthansia is appropriate. We have developed into a throw-away society. We throw away food, we throw away electrical appliances when they don't work any more, and we even throw away our pets (not to mention our children). Euthanasia by the humane society is the only way to deal with all the unwanted pets and those that have been so badly neglected or abused that they can never live a "normal" life. If the Humane Society had choice, they would not put down innocent pets. But there is no choice. Not while people regard life so cheaply.
What pets are at the humane?
Birds, Dogs, Cats, and Bunnies
