What seems to be the standard reply for pro-euthansia proponents is
this very sentence. How can one even begin to compare the life of a
dog/cat to that of a human being. We regard a person who kills people
as a murderer, pure and simple regardless of how it happened, if you
kill a person you're by definition a murderer. However if you kill a
cow or a chicken, then you're not a murderer you're called a butcher.
Butchers don't go to jail, they don't become shuned by society. This
already shows that we treat the life of animals and the life of a
human being completely different. Therefore it isn't practical and
logical or even sane to compare the life of a dog and cat to that of a
life of a human being.
