TW: pet death/euthanasia

For everyone who’s been following the Poppy Saga..

Poppy has gone downhill, A LOT. She is at the point where the vet and I discussed it, and leaving her in this much pain is selfish.

We decided that she needed to be humanely euthanized. We have an appt at the vet clinic tomorrow to put my poor Poppy girl out of pain.

I am a train wreck right now. A bad bad train wreck💔

Season of Trauma

Each year the season of trauma arrives

Now they trickle in, the small and the young

Depressing to know not all will survive

So I'm their last stop, their song will be sung

I'm not ready but I give what it takes

No time to recover, wounds grow deeper

Endless flows of them, the dam always breaks

Unrecovered I still am the reaper

There's abuse in your face day after day

Hit by a car, maggot infestations

Abandoned at birth just fading away

Never have been owned for generations

An ode to those who did not have a chance

So I treat them well in this circumstance

I see many lost to euthanasia

And nothing stops this nightmare fantasia

#stray cats have a breeding season and there's a fuuuuuuck ton of kittens that come in. they come in all sorts of horrible conditions #i have to euthanize so so so many kittens during the summer and i want to die it hurts #despite how many cats we spay and neuter there's still an infinite supply of them #its horrible euthanizing newborns and kittend they didn't even get a chance to live and they have to die #animal death #humane euthanasia #poetry #sonnets #acrostic #tw animal death

Only thing I’m gonna say abt it bc I haven’t read the books or participated tje fandom since I was in elementary school but. Ppl’s reaction to Squirrelflight becoming leader is so funny. The misogyny of the authors has rubbed off on the fans I see, how are you gonna tell a victim of domestic abuse that’s she’s a worse leader and suffered less than her husband. And all the alternate leader suggestions from these ppl are the lame ass guys. this is one of the saddest characters in cat fiction let the girlie win at least once good lord

#‘but she’s old so she’ll just die right away’ and? she’s still kickin so far anyway #they’re gonna pull some nightstar shit w her and pull sims bs excuse I just know it but. I’m gonna enjoy the win for now lol #also heard that they introduced TNR to the books. this will my be handled well #*​not be #I loved warriors but it wreaked havoc on cat care. your cat is not a warrior quit letting it outside to die. #and TNR is not a viable long term solution it’s just putting a bandaid on a gaping wound #introducing this controversial tactic into annanthrpromorphic cat book is. NOT gonna help I already know ppl who don’t spay or nueter bc #‘what if they want to have babies later 🥺 I don’t want to take away their freedom’ ma’am they are animals. #and there is such a massive amount of cat overpopulation that the only option to make sure the ones able to be adopted actually get to be #would be to cull massive amounts of them. talk to a shelter worker they are literally up to their knees in cats #and half of them are so feral or sick that the only humane option is euthanasia #anyway. I support women’s rights and wrongs lmao #squirrelflight #squirrelstar #warrior cats

[thedisablednaturalist]

It's extremely important that people realize the critical difference between euthanasia for disabled animals vs euthanasia for disabled humans. The first is many times the most humane and ethical thing to be done for the animals welfare and the second is in 99.9% of cases eugenics and not done with the disabled person's welfare, wishes, or dignity in mind.

(this post is not saying disabled people choosing to end their OWN lives free of outside bias is inherently bad pls stop harassing me)

#disability #eugenics #euthanasia #ableism #animal welfare #found this in my drafts and was like past me was 100% correct #tired of ara's tourturing animals bc they think the animal has a 'will' to live (as if it can comprehend its own suffering) #and tired of people putting disabled humans down like animals #even making jokes at me like 'wow if i had chronic pain like you id just commit suicide' #like...thanks???? for letting me know you think I should kms??? #FRIENDS have said this to me #like wtf

[aailbhe]

So my sister recomended me a song. :)

I am never taking song recs from her again. :)

Do you know why? :)

Do you know FUCKING WHY????

ITS BECAUSE I HAVE JUST SPENT 30 MINUTES!!! 30 FUCKING MINUTES SOBBING ABOUT THIS SONG!!!!

fuck you I. Fuck you.

(Anyway you should listen to euthanasia by will wood if you need to cry in like 5 seconds)

#You know that one billie eilish interview where they ask about the album cover of her crying? And she says she just watched the film spirit? #Euthanasia is my spirit stallion of the cimmaron herd #ANYWAY #gotta go pretend to be a functioning human being now :) #will wood #pet death #animal death #Not really but referenced

[fjordfolk]

theres a lot in my feeds rn about statistics of dogs life expectancy going down and I'm not saying that's false or that we don't need a long hard chat about genetic variation. but i also wonder how much of this is about reporting, ownership culture, and flow of information as well.

#i cant speak for everywhere but at least here #it was drastically more common for animals to die 'for no particular reason' and for it not to be recorded anywhere #registering date of death with the kennel club is still somewhat uncommon #pet insurance is vastly more common now than it was only 10 years ago #as is health investment through vet care and actual humane euthanasia #and i just suspect you run into the same issue as with most things: the people leading to their dogs deaths being recorded in 1995 #would have been more of a niche back then than even now #especially with things like cancer that tend to go under the radar and where methods of detection have changed drastically

Transgender Woman Denied Euthanasia in Canada over Post-Surgical Pain and Regret | National Review

An indigenous man who transitioned to a woman had unsuccessful vaginoplasty surgery in 2009 that has caused serious pain ever since. Under Canada's euthanasia law, "she" asked to be put to death by lethal injection due to the constant pain, both physical and psychological. Those are usually the magic words to be approved for euthanasia in Canada, but not in this case. Because this case might call attention to the possibility of unsuccessful sex change operations and might reflect negatively on the medical claims of the transgender movement, it seems, she has been denied her request for euthanasia.

It seems that today's progressive cause (transgenderism) wins over yesterday's progressive cause (euthanasia), even though both are sold as human rights, and human rights are supposed to be absolute. In this case, one person's supposed human right to die is set aside because of the possibility of its being used for propaganda in democratic debate.

There are degrees of awfulness, with some evil things being less evil than others. I think in this case, the willingness of advocates for transgender rights to lie about and/or hide any inconvenient facts is extremely troubling. But, since anyone who consents to assisted suicide goes directly to hell, I think that the person not being put to death is something of a win. At least alive, this person can have the opportunity to undergo a conversion. So the evil motives of the authorities - to lie about messy details - might have served some good.

(Of course, it would be better if neither euthanasia nor sex change operations were available, and all these people were struggling to be saints.)

Speaking of repressing the multi-faceted, three-dimensionality of your own motivations, what if that’s part of an unspoken “objectionable” thing with the melting of Donatello’s mind?

Like, Dean saw that look on Cas’s face. He fears that anger (on his behalf) was a sliver of that motivation.

#dean/cas #add tags #delicious layers #human euthanasia #human euthanasia’s always going to be a hot button issue but cas’s angelic violence is presented as something on a higher level of horrific #so interesting #it’s because of the powerful nature of it #cosmic hierarchy #and dean too became his worst self to find cas in season 9 #he tortured a reaper to find cas #i just love how frightening are the things we do for each other etc etc

Safe

Kolya

CW/TW: human trafficking, pet whump, chronic illness, death and euthanasia mention, BBU/WRU. For BBU Community Days 13: Safety. @bbu-on-the-side

“Let me see your barcode, Eliot. Please.” He is trying to make requests, not commands.

The younger man obeys, immediately, despite the apprehension in his eyes. No, fear. He hates that he’s made Eliot afraid.

“Why?”

That’s good. Not long ago he would apologize instead of asking questions. It makes Kolya smile, while he runs the hand scanner over the barcode. It beeps, bringing up the information he’s looking for.

“I want to—“ He chooses his words carefully. “I want to keep you safe. You aren’t, if your owner or WRU is looking for you. I’m going to try and buy you from your old owner.”

“You want to buy me?”

Do you know what a fucked-up thing that is, Nikolai? But Eliot’s smile is so bright. “Yes. Then I will free you. Is that all right?”

Eliot hugs him.

He’s ushered in by a Domestic. Another brings trays of drinks and canapés.

He never noticed the Domestics, before. They’re not meant to be noticed, most of the time. But now he can’t stop looking at them.

“Nikolai, it’s been too long!”

He smiles, makes his courtesies. He doesn’t know the Bramwells, not really. They’re old money, society people with no blood under their fingernails. But they know the right people, they’re connected to the important people. He attended a few parties here.

He fucked their Romantic over this table, he’s pretty sure.

“If we could discuss the matter I called you about.”

“Yes. You found one of our Domestics? The barcode notification surprised us.”

“Why?” It’s one of those questions better left unasked, but she’s already answering.

“Oh, you know…” Mrs. Bramwell shrugs. “Sometimes they wander off when they near their expiration date.”

Expiration date.

“It’s usually not worth chasing after them, just to have to put them down,” Mr. Bramwell says. “It’s easier just to replace them.”

“Some do come back. It’s all they know, after all.”

It’s all they’re allowed to know. Kolya drinks from the glass in his hand, an excuse to swallow. “So, the Domestic I found. 992704.” Forgive me, Eliot. “How much do you want for him?”

After some discussion, the Bramwells settle on a paltry sum. A token price, for a friend who wants something you were going to throw away anyway, because it’s wearing out.

He’s glad to go.

“Sir?” It’s the cook, a graying matronly woman. “Did I understand correctly? You purchased 704?”

“Yes.” He feels dirty saying it. He is going to need a long, hot shower when he gets home.

“Then he’s alive? Is he well?”

She cares about Eliot. It’s a shock after the indifference of his previous owners.

“He is.” I’m doing the best I can. “You’re a friend?”

“Domestics don’t have friends.” She softens the rote phrase with a smile. “Sometimes I spent time with 704, when he wasn’t working or in storage.”

“Storage?”

Without a word, she leads Nikolai to a door not far from the kitchen, set off the main living room. A coat closet, he thinks. Then he opens the door, and sees the vacuum, the mop, the washcloth, and containers of cleaning chemicals. Towels and washcloths. A storage closet, for cleaning supplies.

Oh, Eliot.

For once, he doesn’t find Eliot cleaning the house when he gets home. He’s on the living room couch, with Jonas hovering over him. He sits up when he sees Kolya, before a hard coughing fit takes. Overexertion.

Expiration date.

When the coughing passes, he takes Eliot in his arms and holds him tight, holds him close.

“It’s over, Sir? I’m yours?”

“Yes. You’re mine and I will keep you safe, Eliot. For the rest of your life.”

Had a cat come in today panting as hard as a dog with a fever of 109.1f which is the highest temp anyone in the room has seen. We got the temp down but there were neurological issues after. All his nails were worn down, some bloody. The Dr thinks he was stuck somewhere and overheated before he was found. He was euthanized.

I hope I can get it out of my head soon, it's eating me alive right now. My brain does this thing where it puts me in their place and suffering.

[cartoonscientist]

call me a hippie dippie bleeding heart socialist but I think if we’re willing to try assisted suicide to deal with mental illness without trying just giving people money so they don’t have to work first, I think that’s kind of evil. but that’s just me.

#cw ableism #cw eugenics #i approve of legal assisted suicide but like for people who are actually beyond help #i don’t believe that something as plastic as the human brain can be impervious to even the most drastic attempts at changing it #have psychedelic therapies been tried? ECT? literally anything but death? #i don’t know because no one linked any sources #i realize it may sounds heartless to suggest something like electroshock before euthanasia but like #when i was so mentally ill that i would gladly consider assisted suicide i would have consented to having my brain fucked up in any way #if it meant it might reboot back to something close to normal #or even just dull my pain #tw suicide #cw euthanasia

Jérôme Lejeune (left) and Peter Singer (right)

Similarly, the preference utilitarian reason for respecting the life of a person cannot apply to a newborn baby. Newborn babies cannot see themselves as beings who might or might not have a future, and so cannot have a desire to continue living. For the same reason, if a right to life must be based on the capacity to want to go on living, or on the ability to see oneself as a continuing mental subject, a newborn baby cannot have a right to life. Finally, a newborn baby is not an autonomous being, capable of making choices, and so to kill a newborn baby cannot violate the respect for autonomy.

Peter Singer

We need to be clear: the quality of a civilization can be measured by the respect it has for its weakest members. There is no other criterion.

Jérôme Lejeune

First, while there has been a growing awareness of human dignity, many misunderstandings of the concept still distort its meaning. Some people propose that it is better to use the expression "personal dignity" (and the rights "of the person") instead of "human dignity" (and the rights "of man") since they understand a "person" to be only "one who is capable of reasoning." They then argue that dignity and rights are deduced from the individual's capacity for knowledge and freedom, which not all humans possess. Thus, according to them, the unborn child would not have personal dignity, nor would the older person who is dependent upon others, nor would an individual with mental disabilities. On the contrary, the Church insists that the dignity of every human person, because it is intrinsic, remains "in all circumstances." The recognition of this dignity cannot be contingent upon a judgment about a person's ability to understand and act freely; otherwise, it would not be inherent in the person, independent of the individual's situation, and thus deserving unconditional respect. Only by recognizing an intrinsic and inalienable dignity in every human being can we guarantee a secure and inviolable foundation for that quality. Without any ontological grounding, the recognition of human dignity would vacillate at the mercy of varying and arbitrary judgments. The only prerequisite for speaking about the dignity inherent in a person is their membership in the human species, whereby "the rights of the person are the rights of man."
