Animals and the Final Journey

But had it come? What was it she wanted? In my mind I laid out the situation to Momo, wanting to know her take on whether it was too bothersome to stay in this body, or if she wanted me to help her get well one more time.
I received no message that felt like she wanted to be euthanized, my signal to pull the strings of modern and alternative veterinary medicine. Momo died a month later, shortly after her third blood transfusion.

I was left with knowing intellectually I had tried everything I could. There was no guilt, just a vague sense that in spite of all my actions I may have missed something …. It took more than a year, then it struck me one day—I had overlooked the obvious. In the options I had laid out to Momo, between trying to get her well or to put her down, I did not give her a third choice: Simply just to die in the pace she would on her own, without much interference.

In this instant, I knew that was what she had wanted. How could that happen to ME? Way before it had become fashionable, already as a student of veterinary medicine, I had focused on looking at the WHOLE picture. How could I have missed thinking outside the conventional box here, in my own life, with my own companion animal? It was staggering to fathom the extent of my well-educated ignorance. Nothing in my extensive training had ever covered how to provide for the special needs of animals dying naturally.

Worse, in all those years of education, I had failed to notice this gap in the curriculum. Given that our companion animals have become family members to us, surely there would be books out there, and tons of easily accessible information on the internet.

Well no, not really. Our focus has been to come up with a thousand different ways to try to keep our animals well and have them live a happy life. Death does not fit in that picture.
But is death that unacceptable? Since her passing, Animal Hospice has become the passion of my life. Most of the reasons we have for utilizing euthanasia would crumble and vanish if exposed to a more encompassing investigation.
05/26/12 Horror on the Final Journey
How many dogs are put down because of trouble getting up and walking? Therefore, in order to draw attention to the horrors that animals endure in transit, Animal Friends' activists will march in protest on Saturday, May 26, , starting at Trg kralja Tomislava and arriving at Trg bana Josipa Jelacica in Zagreb at The protest and performance aims to draw attention to the appalling statistics on the transport of live animals:.
It is estimated that, in Europe, more than six million animals are transported annually for more than eight hours at a time. Such prolonged exposure to severe transport conditions results in extremely high levels of mental and physical stress, the consequences of which are fatigue, exhaustion, injury and death. Even though Croatia does not meet all criteria for animal transport, due to its lack of rest stopsand adequate border crossings for animals, its roads are still full of overloaded trucks.

Animals are kept up to ten hours on border crossings even though the maximum time should be two hours and only in extremely exceptional circumstances. Theharrowing journey of animals transported from the European Union can last up to several days.
The practice of transportation demonstrates the overwhelming truth about the many vague terms within the statutory provisions and their inefficiency and inability to control said practice in accordance with legal regulations. Animal Friends believes that the transport of live animals is completely unnecessary, unethical and cruel and should, as such, be completely banned.
The most effective way for each individual to make a pledge for the ban of transport of animals is to switch to a plant based diet — automatically refusing to take part in animal suffering.
Choosinga diet which excludes foods of animal origin improves our health and safeguards the environment thus directly reducing the suffering of animals during transport. To see a photo gallery please click here.
