Sit on it, dude. You needing to get your jollies by constantly drawing out ridiculous arguments on topics you have no reliable knowledge on is
not important.
In any case, I did some googling. All I found was a bunch of inconclusive stuff that says it's up to the vet, and no official law or word either way. The general concensus is that since pets are viewed as "property" the owner can do what they want with their "property" - and that includes having them put down if they feel the need. While this sounds ridiculous, as I'm guessing most on this forum love their dogs and wouldn't view them as "property" I'm guessing that if this went to court, it would be ruled that the owner can do what they want with their dog (as long as it's not consisting of animal cruelty, within the boundaries of the law, etc etc).
Can a healthy dog be put to sleep?
OK--will a vet put down a dog just beacause the owner wants it put down? - Yahoo! Answers
