I was just thinking of the scene in Eclipse where Leafpool and Jaypaw discuss it, so I was wondering, what do the Clans think of euthanasia? In canon ShadowClan does it but ThunderClan thinks StarClan decides when a cat would die and I was wondering how you would handle this in your rewrite.
Every time it comes up in canon, it gives me less confidence that it has any place in my rewrite tbh
(CW: Animal death, convulsions, poisoning, Sagewhisker generally being a horrible person, euthanasia, what you'd expect from this convo really)
We're told it's only used to "save a cat from a lingering death" but in-canon it's been actively considered four times that I can remember;
Sagewhisker implying Yellowfang could kill her unwanted children (sincerely sagewhisker what the fuck)
Cloudpelt's injury as an apprentice (why is sagewhisker so horrible?!)
Brokenstar, of course
Hollyleaf telling Leafpool to kill herself
All of these times were loathsome! If anything it looks more like it's considered out of spite or convenience, not once has it ever come up as real mercy.
And we HAVE seen what death by yew berries looks like in comparison; Brokenstar went into convulsions and Sorrelkit, a small child who should have logically been killed quickly based on how much she ate, suffered in agony and survived.
Thankfully Cinderpelt was able to get yarrow into her almost immediately so she threw it up, but it still suggests these aren't as "quick and painless" as the medicine cats imply. Every time we've seen a deathberry poisoning on-screen, it's painful and traumatic.
(And deathberries are even worse in my rewrite, since Bonefall Sorreltail walks away from this with lasting neurological damage.)
So the logistics of poisoning aside, it's like... why even keep it, y'know? Sure as a writer I could make deathberry poisoning less painful, and there are more types of illness now that could warrant euthanasia consideration (like Hazeltail's accidental hyperthyroidism), but, I'm rewriting the Clans into a culture where the scars you earn from hard-fought battles are a point of pride.
Why would the clans want to take that from a warrior? The chance to fight and win their lives? Philosophically speaking, could that not be considered breaking the Right of Challenge?
I'm sure it does happen occasionally though, and a medicine cat euthanizes a suffering warrior... secretly. Euthanasia and other types of poisonings are the sort of skill taught by Dark Forest medics, not casually passed from mentor to apprentice.
No more "ShadowClan is the evil Clan so they're more Morally Ambiguous than everyone else" stuff
Yellowfang probably picked it up from Runningnose's killing of Marigoldkit, or simply realized it would be an easy way to secretly end his life. She's smart enough to just have that idea on her own, really.
Yew berries might be used to kill foxes and problem corvids though, particularly ones that start stealing and are too crafty to catch.

Fic announcement for @ichirukicollab
Letting you all know that I wrote a fanfic for the Strawberry Tales BigBang! Hope you enjoy it and give it some love on AO3!
The artists on my team @peacharrii and @mayamymya on Twitter/X did incredible art for this fic and my beta Goldie @distancingreality was an excellent moderator who gave sage advice and really helped me out. Without them I wouldn’t have been able to publish my first ever fic in the first place.
