And I'm not talking about autopsy videos or banned stuff, I'm talking about real life experiences...

Obviously I've seen gore, fatalities in traffic accidents and real executions videos but never live... The closest was the body of a guy laying on the concrete from a car accident, I was in a bus going in parallel with that car, but I'm not sure if he was dead...

I've been with every one of my pets when they were euthanized. It's a horrible experience but I wouldn't want it any other way.

Good on you for being there. I know a vet tech and she says too many people take the easy way out and just drop them off at the vet's office. Their sick animals spend their last few minutes scared and looking for their owners. It breaks her heart every time.

just drop them off

This makes me morally and physically gag

Euthanasia is more humane than a lot of ancient humans’ last couple years.
