There are reported cases of healthy pets being euthanise
by
an ex spouse during or after a divorce.
If the pet was a human, then it would be considered
murder.
The same standard should apply to pets, at the very least
under animal cruetly laws.
If the pet was obtained after a divorce,
the law should
require
that the owner provide a reasonable opportunity for the
ex
partner to obtain custody of the pet if they no longer
want the
pet.
Only once the ex partner declines, or does not respond
within
a reasonable allocated time, could the pet be put down.

Takes his dog to the vet and has it put down... [mofosyne, Apr 27 2015]

We will bun this, since it cannot be applied to cats, which are not in
fact pets but a sort of unpleasant parasite. |
|
| |
... and adult cyclists that ride on sidewalks, at night, without lights. |
|

A little research would have shown that euthanising a
perfectly healthy pet for no other reason than an owner's
wish to kill it is at least a misdemeanor crime in many
locales, both for the owner and the vet. In all 50 states, if
proven in a court of law or before an AVMA board of
censure, unwarranted euthanasia will result in revocation
of a veterinarian's license to practice. |
|
| |
But all that is beside the point, because you're going to
have a hard time finding a vet willing to do it. I'm not
saying this shit doesn't happen, but in general people don't
become veterinarians because they have a great
enthusiasm for the wanton slaying of healthy animals.
Rather the opposite, in fact. |

//decriminalization of vehicular homicide of
jaywalkers// |
|
| |
Or, as we call them in the UK, "adults who, over the
years, have learned to cross the road unaided". |
|
| |
Depends if the vehicle has to swerve to hit her. |
|
| |
What [21Q] said (Twice in one thread, DAMN that hurts ...). |
|
| |
// they're on the sidewalk because they don't have lights? // |
|
| |
Well, no lights lit on the top floor, certainly. |
|
| |
LED bicycle lamps, front and rear, with batteries, USD $5 delivered on
eBay. There's no excuse. |
|
| |
If you want to cycle, do it on the road, not the sidewalk. If you have no
lights and it's dark, then either walk, or risk being run down. Easy. |
|
| |
Why bother if taking the risk leads through darwinism to an
eventually improved accident free species? |
|
| |
That's EXACTLY what we've been telling you for years. Finally,
someone listened ... |
|
| |
// What Alter said. Should've known he'd chime in
here. It is his area of expertise, after all. // |
|
| |
No it isn't, it's my Dad's area of expertise. My expertise lies
in metalworking, riflery, and offending certain types of
people. |
|
| |
//... and adult cyclists that ride on sidewalks, at night, without lights.// Lights don't always make a difference. Last summer a Reserves' platoon's night run on a footpath was very briefly interrupted by a cyclist coming 'round the bend the other way. |
|
| |
We would pay a dollar to watch that. |
|
| |
If get interspecies marriage legalized first wouldnt
this be automatic. |
|
| |
Or maybe you could legalize revenge euthanasia of
humans |
|
| |
That is legal in many parts of the world. |
|
| |
Including a number of US states. |
|
| |
//legalize revenge euthanasia of humans // |
|
| |
... and there was much rejoicing. |
|
| |
Amongst other useful compounds, we would like to draw the attention
of the audience to the fact that nicotine is extremely toxic to cats. |
|
| |
So is cannabis, which is quite toxic to dogs as well. |
|
| |
/Do you suppose, perhaps, that they're on the sidewalk because they don't have lights?/ |
|
| |
Indeed, well said. I applied exactly the same logic when my truck's headlamp fuse blew and I needed to get home. Took down three paperboys, the postman, and Mrs Featherstonehaugh's chihuahua. Got in terrible trouble. |
|
| |
Mind you, for the chihuahua alone it was worth it. |
|
| |
I thought bad euthanasia only consist of revenge minded
euthanasia... |

Not putting down your husband's pet just because you don't
like animals, but your husband does... without his input |

Argh... narcissistic personality disorder much? (Link added

|
| |
eh, this "issue" is just fighty people looking for more reasons to fight and besmirch one another. Some people fuss over and doctor ailing animals, some put them down. |
|

It seems to me that if someone has got together with a
person whose character would allow them to consider this in
the first place, the problems were there at the start of the
relationship - either it was in haste or due to a victim
mentality. Everyone makes mistakes of course, but this
means the person doing it probably has sociopathic
tendencies which were not noticed at first. Still, such people
usually do very well provided they can control their
impulsiveness, so maybe it's just a strategic failure on their
ex's part that they split up. |

//adult cyclists that ride on sidewalks |
|
| |
So, you'd get them to ride on the pavement instead? |
|
| |
PS The Pavement (London, SW4 0HY) might
complicate the issue. |
|
| |
PPS The Pavement is strangely close to the Polygon.
Very literally minded, our ancestors. |
