Euthanasia on Animals

The practice of Euthanasia on Animals has been used for as long as records have been taken on the subject and is still a very common practice.  The main reasons for this practice are for terminal illness, extreme suffering, old age, and lack of homes.  More recently Euthanasia has been used on pets that are near death or are enduring severe suffering.  Also farmers use this practice on their animals very often.
