Re: [RC] euthanization - Dyane Smith

I certainly agree that we have the responsibility to provide for our animals financially.  My point was simply that not everyone is in a position to care for your animals, even with financial resources that you provide.  It would, however, make it easier.
 
On the other hand, there are stories of persons who have used life support to keep an animal (I think it was a dog in the case I remember) alive in order to continue to benefit from the financial support available to them while they cared for the animal.
 
For many people, this will not be an issue because they do have friends or relatives who are able to step into the breach.
 
I just advise that people really talk to the intended caregivers to be sure everyone understands the responsibility and what might be available.

If you are fortunate to find someone who is willing to do so, then by all means take advantage of their gracious offer.  But before your "time," please try to assess the expectations you are placing on these generous friends and perhaps designate funds from life insurance or property sales, etc.  Your relatives, for the most part, can support themselves, so any money you may have directed to them, give it to those who have agreed to take care of your animals.
