Prin - and if any of the owners of those dogs that were revived find out that the vet did this, they can sue the vet. I'm terribly disturbed by that comment, that some vets that you know would be willing to break the law in such a way.
Vets are in "business" and just like any business, they have the right to refuse service to anyone. Unless you meant a vet that would take the money and not destroy the animal, I don't see how this would be a legal matter.

And if I had to choose between a vet that would thoughtlessly destroy a healthy animal, and one that would take the money and save the animal, it wouldn't be a tough choice by any means. I would be far more "disturbed" by the vet who would destroy a healthy animal, than by the one who would bend (or break) the rules to save an animal.
