[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 709065, member: 18958"] Dear a dad: I would be sick at heart too. You were not acting as an individual person. You were acting in your capacity as a manager for the safety and the wellbeing of the business. If this was about human beings, I would respond in a different way. If the puppies could not have lived (at 2 weeks old, how could they have lived?) you were acting, I think humanely for the puppies. Where would the funds have come from to spay the females and could that have been done at 2 weeks? Was there a shelter willing to keep the puppies until they were of the age that they could be safely spayed? And without a mother how would these puppies have been socialized? And for what would they be kept alive? To become homeless strays for the rest of their lives? Where I live there are so many abandoned and unwanted pets, that organizations come from other states to get them. I used to go and visit the shelter. Now I cannot bear it. You were put in a situation due to the responsibilities of your job. Your job is to take responsibility. You did. You did this because you are paid to make good decisions for the company. These were not human beings. There are ethical practices with animals, and these animals did not suffer. I believe you behaved ethically and responsibly. But in a very, very hard situation, for somebody who is kind. I hope you forgive yourself. You did not choose to expose these animals to suffering. If anything, given the likely options that I can think of, this was one route that foreclosed further suffering. I feel very bad, too. I know you are an animal lover. I was almost the other day going to ask you how your 2 dogs were getting along that had the personality conflict. [/QUOTE]
