There are wonderful dog owners who own dogs who can't get up on their own. I know people who have or had paralyzed dogs who are/were totally unable to walk. If there is nothing that can be done about this, there is nothing that can be done about it. Is it cruelty per se not to euthanize a dog who can't move on his own?

It's horribly cruel and you can love them enough to let them go humanly. When an animal's quality of life is less than - it's the only thing one can do IMO

I actually think that keeping a young border collie tied up 24/7 is WAY crueler than keeping an old, dying, immobile dog on a chain, but both are legal

Really, crueler than what, in your opinion?
