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!

What objections are there about putting a cow down?

Objections to putting a cow down often stem from ethical concerns regarding animal welfare, as many people believe that animals should be treated with compassion and given the chance for recovery or a natural life. Additionally, some argue that the decision to euthanize should consider the animal's quality of life and the emotional impact on the owner or caretaker. There may also be cultural or religious beliefs that oppose euthanasia in any form, viewing it as an unacceptable act. Finally, economic factors can play a role, as some may prefer to keep the animal for productive purposes rather than incur the costs of euthanasia.
