Animal euthanasia is a complicated topic and evokes strong emotions. As one of the goals of the podcast for hosts Heidi and Tommy is to take a deep dive into difficult and controversial topics regarding dogs, they decided this uncomfortable topic is certainly worthy of discussion. While many groups online are devoted to ‘no kill’ shelters and are firm in their positions, we were disappointed that no one was willing to come on as a guest to discuss their thoughts on the topic. This is discouraging as there needs to be more discussion and transparency surrounding euthanasia. The hosts discuss the scenarios for euthanasia including sick or aggressive animals, as well as overcrowding, and ponder the question… why are we not working together toward solutions? Dealing in facts, stats, and data and setting emotion aside would provide for a much healthier and transparent discussion, and the greater possibility of solutions

Other topics covered:

• The ‘adopt don’t shop’ movement hypocrisy


• Importing/rescuing stray dogs from Puerto Rico and beyond


• Governor Noem statement about killing a dog


• AKC Canine Good Citizen Training program


• American Veterinary Medical Assoc (AVMA) positions on euthanasia
