Talking of 'killed'. My missus never checked on where our dogs were when she drove out of the yard. Unfortunately she ran over our Cocker Spaniel. You've never heard crying from a dog like she was omitting. Anyways I rushed her to the vet and he x-rayed her. Her pelvis was shattered. He said there was nothing he could do but allow it to heal itself. After half an hour of arriving home I couldn't listen to her screams anymore. I had no alternate but to club her over the back of the head. Luckily, as I saw it, one blow was enough.

Next time, if faced with the same decision, I'd borrow a gun off a policeman friend. <deleted> vets  

 

 

It can not be a  religious reason they refuse to put a  terminally ill animal to sleep.

 

It is very clearly only about taking the opportunity to exploit a heartbroken pet owner and scam them out of as much money as they can.

 

If it was religious beliefs then the vets would all be vegan. 

 

They would also be doing the operations and other things free or at the lowest price they could as their religion is against material wealth and profits.... especially, I should think,  taking money from people who are heartbroken their pet is dying. 

 

One of their religions guidelines is to reduce suffering in this life.  That would clearly include ending a pain ridden pets life if there was no chance of recovery.

 

There would be no meat consumption here or slaughter houses if the people were that religious. As mentioned by a other poster the vets are likely off to get fried chicken or grilled pork later ..so how can they say killing an animal is so wrong?

 

And, if the vets really are that religious then they should go and be monks in a temple.

strange way of thinking of not being able to fix an animal as a failure. I mean its not as if everything can be fixed. Sometimes the most humane thing to do is to put a suffering animal down. 

I agree, but these guys are constantly getting their egos pumped by obeisance, which makes them holier than thou and they can't 'give in' and say they are helpless to help.

No, it's not a Buddhist thing, you'll find that if the Vet is Christian, he'll still feel the same, it's a cultural thing.

It's a Buddhist thing.

Buddhism practice relates that karma plays a significant part in the decision making process of Thai society including that the taking of a life will remain with them in their future lives, no matter if the act was carried out as a compassionate measure or otherwise. As a result, it can be extremely difficult to find a veterinarian to euthanize a family pet once the decision has been made by the family.

In Buddhism taking a life, any life is prohibited which can make things difficult for many practicing Buddhist pet care professionals. Most refuse to euthanize pets no matter the level of suffering they are experiencing, fearing their ability to prevent the animal from suffering will prevent the animal from extinguishing their karma, leading to a poor rebirth.

Whatever you think is irrelevant right now, because most Thai vets are like this. So its more likely to be religion related then anything else. I have had the same thing with our dogs. If you look into topics of vets putting animals down there are very few that are willing to do so.

 

So its clearly a religion thing, i feel they should put animals down but that is my western view. My dog might have to be put down and we found a vet willing to do so through friends. But its hard. I really think its not a money thing at all. 

They say its a religeous thing,i think   thats just an excuse to  get more money  especially now there are fewer customers around

No, THANKFULLY you are of the said previous generation. What did Richard Gere do, I forget?

Why the need for a vet to put down an animal?

 

It is quite easy to do it yourself.  Some people here may criticize the vet yet not want to do it themselves. Maybe it a case of wriggling out of the Karmic debt.

 

 

Vet I had  used to PTS before I opened my mouth  500 to 1000 baht a shot  Can do yourself,..helium in small enclosure

It was  just a joke many years ago, mention of him doing "something unnatural" with a  hamster. Mdemory failing  apparently a  google  search suggests "Gerbil" same same small rat type

The Vets were refusing to euthanise long before this Covid hit.

But the Siamese did have the death penalty a good while back.

They still do.

Not so long ago a dog came wandering about obviously hungry. Then I and a neighbor spotted that all four feet were crushed and it was walking on exposed bone. I think it was suposed to be food for someone and despite the incredibly  cruel injuries  had escaped and due to shock  could not feel pain. I called a Vet Clinic and asked if it could be put down? The answer  was "No". But I could  amputate ?

Sadly it wandered off never to be seen again unless the perpetrator tracked it down and took it away.

On another occasion took a soi dog that had an obviously broken back to a vet in the hope of being put down. "No no. I think it only has "spinal cord shock and will recover". That was after several jabs with a sharp object to elicit any response. My daughter took it home and it died about a month later from infection on it's rear legs due to dragging itself  around.

I have found Vets are also not happy to sterilize male cats but are happy to sterilize females.

I find it very RESPONSIBLE to put a suffering animal out of it's misery. 

You need to read the post that I was responding to. Yes that does need to happen, scientifically, by a trained person, not just by someone who THINKS they know how to do it painlessly and with sensitively.
