Making the choice to put down a pet is always difficult. When pet owners make that decision, it is almost always done to ease the suffering of our friend. It is appalling to think that instead of a final moment of peace, animals can feel the  intense pain and suffering of euthanizing drugs and cry out in pain when they are put down. This can truly torment a pet owner if they ever hear the last screams of their pet—their friend—who they were supposed to protect and care for.
