      That is a very good question, well done.

      Some people think it is OK to kill an animal if they are suffering a lot, because then we can get rid of their pain. It should only ever be a vet that does this, as only a vet knows if an animal is at the stage where it will not get better again and is hurting a lot.

      It is definitely not OK for animals to be killed if they are healthy. Some people kill animals because they don’t want them any more. This is unfair as there might be someone else somewhere that could give them a nice home.

      This is very different to humans – it is never OK to kill a human, even if they are suffering. Some people think it should be OK, but currently it is illegal.

      And yes, I do love animals! They always brighten up my day!

      I hope that answers your question 😀
