Because while euthanasia is generally a good thing, there are also big potentials for abuse and unnecessary tragedy. We maintain a pretense of caring about these things with humans and so most governments err on the side of caution while others think they're such hot shit they can dance their way through the quagmire. Meanwhile, we openly don't give a single fuck what happens to non-human animals, and our culture is predicated on treating them like objects, so you're allowed to do whatever you want with them. Kill them because they're suffering, kill them because they bark too loud, it's all the same. It's your dog-shaped object, go nuts.

In 2 years, I'll be older than my oldest known ancestor made it. I'm not that old. I think about it every day. The point of life isn't being happy or comfortable, it's finding and creating meaning.
