I had a kitten in a "state" and everybody told me "let nature take its course. His last day I asked no less than 4 men to help me finish him off. Not one agreed! And this was in Israel not California! The best was a guy who constantly wears a pistol on his belt. He came into my Dairy saying "That kitten should be put out of its misery. Do you want me to do it?" So I said "Oh, *would* you?" to which he replied that he didn't really mean it.
So I drown-ded him myself.
I am for mercy killing of animals.
