We will pursue this case here and so thought-provoking want to know why we quote here directly to colleagues Wagner added, the reason that this case is certainly not an isolated case, but a reflection of our society.
One, this is not to be considered especially beautiful.
There's someone who has decided privately to let his cat kidney transplant now. On the face of the
provides for true animal lover.
But is it really? Shows for the love of animals is what I am willing to spend on an animal?
it shows in how hard it falls to me to accept a farewell to the beloved pet?
I personally find it ethically no longer clearly justifiable, is a very ill cat to imprison a minimum of half-day flight in a box, they ship to be in a completely foreign environment to operate it then leave it after a life only with serious drugs that prevent rejection to be kept alive artificially. This "immunosuppressants" bring an increased risk of cancer, then by all infections and infectious herds are kept, that they "used" exclusively to the satisfaction of the owner who may look with pride his still living cat with them, also, the cat - only for how long?
What next then? Constant checks, blood draws, possibly a re-transplantation after some time.
The original donor cat as it goes on with her?
Whether these animals say or do or not, then is not asked.
A doctor who often had to sit and watch the carnage on a children's department, told me once that he advised sometimes the parents of a dying child to do nothing more if it is clear that the ordeal was painful by the medical machinery for the child as a peaceful farewell.
A vet warned me once before so-called "sanctuaries," he said, then "animal protection without mercy" will be enforced.
He was referring to exactly what this so-called animal lovers now practicing out of selfishness, he uses the guise Animal protection and love of animals to cover up his own fears with 20,000 €.
not the cat can not let go, it is used as Streicheltierchen, and as mascots because they stood by him once for a serious illness.
The man should invest 20,000 euros in his own mental health, do something to stabilize so that he must give the break point in his life, his cat, no longer alive festzementieren and the cat the greatest proof of love, the one animal rights activists can be: a worthy
, pain and death without fear, accompanied by the cat until the last moment.
it is not the duration of a life alone is the criterion, but also the remaining Quality of life.
selfishness does not have any love of animals, fear of loss is not remedied by transplantation.
