The Truth about Animal Euthanasia
Sometimes dying is both beautiful and spiritually uplifting. At others, it’s sudden and steals choice. As hard as it is, death is part of life and should be honored for what it really is: the exit of a soul from that body. When death should occur is the question we ask with Euthanasia.

Animal Spirituality and Animal Euthanasia
As we examine body, mind, and spirit for and with our animals at the end of life, we need to understand wise choices to promote values that allow grief and compassion to kindly say farewell. To make dying easier by honoring, celebrating, and preparing for it, however, it occurs.
The last gift we can give our beloved animals is the peace and serenity of a good death. Euthanasia is an option, but a considered one. Find out what your animal wants, how far it can go without losing its way on its soul journey. Know that whatever choice you make together will work because you’re family.
We quail at Euthanasia, and we should, because it is murder. But Euthanasia is also mercy and compassion when only suffering remains. May the human-animal bond teach us that technology has its limits, that suffering and pain are not acceptable, that death is to be honored and respected, and welcomed when all hope is lost. That we can make Euthanasia what it really is: love sorely tried, and triumphant.
