Here's another spin.
Would you sacrifice the life of your pet if it meant that your healthy child(ren) would have a 1 year guarntee from the date of the pet's demise to remain free of serious injury, illness, disease, accident or death?
Thats not fair, klydon. That puts a whole other spin on this "argument". I don't think any parent would even have to think about that before putting their pet down.
I couldn't eat my cat even if it meant my own survival (I'd rather die first), but if I had to feed the animal to my children for them to survive I wouldn't even hesitate killing the cat.
