I am interested in your thoughts on what you feel
is the best way to end the pain and suffering of pets.

I would simply add a note of caution against our tendancy toward
anthropromophism. Animals aren't human and what we perceive as suffering may or may not
be suffering at all from the animal's point of view. This is especially true
of cats. . . . We built a cairn over him. It is difficult to imagine what we would have
missed by ushering him out of the world too soon.

Here's to you, Batman! Lived and died on his own terms.

Thank you.

That reinforces my feelings about cats.
