I agree that humans should be put before animals...after all, we must protect our own first. I just think it's a wee bit hypocritical that animals get the luxury of being relieved of their pain, and yet a human must go on living.

The best example of this was in the book that the movie "We Were Soldiers" is based on. One soldier got napalmed, and got third degree burns to some outrageous amount of his body (like 75%-90%). Yet he didn't die for two days. Now if that happened to a dog, or cat, there would be no question about putting it to sleep. But as a human, he had to suffer horrendous, unimaginable pain for two days. Just doesn't seem right...
