Many people, seriously, do not like to "play God" by making an active life or death decision, especially if it is an animal they have a deep emotional attachment to. Many people feel incredible, overwhelming guilt.

That is not my personal viewpoint for my own animals, but it is a viewpoint many people hold, and one has to recognize it exists.

This, obviously, is different from those that really don't give a darn about the animal.

Euthanasia sucks but a trailer ride across the country over the border to a slaughter house in Mexico seems less human?
