If a pet is at a mature age and develops a terminal illness, is it right to put them down or to use medicine to prolong their lives?

It seems to me like unnaturally keeping a pet alive and possibly prolonging their suffering, putting them through stressful operations etc. is inadvertently selfish. I may feel like I'm doing a good thing for the sake of the animal, or is it just for my benefit?

If the animal is suffering AND that suffering cannot be stopped, then end its life. Otherwise no.

Depends on the condition.

>is it in pain?
Yes.

I would also say yes for an animal that can no longer move around as well. Like a dog with no legs.

Kind of like a Heisenberg situation
Would you keep taking them to the vet and pump them full of medicine for another 5 years
Or let them enjoy a few more months of normal life

>is it right
It's pretty obvious that your decision is going to be driven by feefees instead of actual moral theory and you're simply looking for people to validate your decision.
If you had ever even bothered looking into ethics you would know that you can make a good case either way, but as I said before, you just want people to spoonfeed you some emotional rhetoric so you can externalize the responsibility for your decision.
That being said, go your local library and read a book if you really give a shit. If you don't, tie it to a weather balloon and post a video.

Fuck being a trustee man. I would've been a rubber glove salesman if I wasn't running the kite/tobacco trade.
I ended up giving him one eventually and I don't want to know what evil befell that piece of rubber.

If it can be cured, would it still be terminal?
