We say 'put down', 'put to sleep', 'put out of misery', and 'lay down' because these words don't sound as bad as saying 'kill'. I mean, if you use one of those euphemisms, it sounds like you're doing it to be nice. But if you say 'kill', then it just sounds like you want the creature dead. Right? But the thing is, killing is still killing no matter how many 'nice' words you use, and there's nothing you can do about it. To me, these euphemisms can't mask the true meaning of kill, no matter what. I hope this helps!

How did Hamlet see to it that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern would be put to death instead of him?

Should putting down an animal have euphemisms?
Yes, because putting down an animal can have a very strong emotional impact. If you say 'put to sleep' for example, it sounds better because you can tell that you want the animal to die peacefully and without pain. Saying 'kill' makes it sound like you just want the animal dead. Personally, I usually prefer to say 'kill', because 'put down' just means the same thing. Yes, I am against euthanasia. Here are some euphemisms you can use, but you can also make up your own: put down, put to sleep, put out of misery, and lay down. I hope this helps!
