We don't want to be born on the same day in the same year, but we want to die on the same day in the same year. I just hope that the owner can show kindness and not deprive the dog of his life.
According to the guardian on May 23, a dog in the United States was euthanized in Virginia in March this year and was buried with its female owner, which has aroused strong public opinion.
Larry spiaggi, President of the Virginia Funeral Association, has publicly expressed disgust with such incidents. At present, a state congressman is considering legislation to prevent such incidents from happening again.
In March this year, a heritage executor took Emma, a healthy pet dog, to the Chesterfield animal service center of the animal shelter for euthanasia.
Although the staff of the animal shelter spent two weeks trying to persuade the executor to abandon the euthanasia plan, they failed.
Finally, Emma's body was sent to a Pet Cremation center in Richmond for cremation, and the ashes were buried with her owner.
Chesterfield animal service said that before euthanizing Emma, they had repeatedly proposed that they could easily help the dog find a new home, hoping that the parties concerned would reconsider.
But in Virginia, pets are considered personal property. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, a veterinarian can euthanize a pet in the event of its owner's death. At the same time, some cemeteries allow pets to be buried with their owners.
Once the incident was exposed, it triggered a strong public opinion. Dr. Kenny & middot; Lucas, a veterinarian at shady grove animal clinic, insisted in an interview with the news of the world that he did not agree to euthanasia for healthy pets.
He said: 'whenever and under any circumstances, when we carry out euthanasia, there is a very complex emotion that goes beyond all that we are talking about. To do such a cruel thing, we must also comfort ourselves, which is moral. We are likely to bring the emotions and stress at work back home and affect our lives. '
