Possible Solutions

I feel that the laws for euthanasia should be more strict and have more regulations in order to "put down" an animal. Laws in South Carolina suggest that in order for a shelter to "put down" an animal without it being considered murdered is that the animal has to be in such a terrible condition that it cannot even breathe on its own, then it would not be murdered. Anything else besides that is "aided death". I feel that if the law stated that even if the animal(s) are in such a poor condition, they still should not be euthanized. Also, if there was a person involved in the process of that animal going to be euthanized, they should be severely punished to the point that other people will not want to harm an animal to that extent. If we could get things like this patented in South Carolina, maybe it will follow in other states and things will begin to get better.
