I've always thought that in home euthansia was less stressful on the animal.

When my pony was put down a few years back it was planned. All the barn kids knew and brought him treats in the days before and got to say goodbye. I cried all day, but knew it was time and it was handled with love and dignity.

I've sat with relatives in hospice care and wished we could do for them what we do for the animals. Denying them food and water seems to me a lot less humane than euthanasia.

I don't know, hospice for animals doesn't seem like an improvement.
