ASPCA commercials

That being said, ASPCA sometimes rescues animals that are extremely disabled from mistreatment (or mentally ill from the same), and can never be adopted. The cost of keeping every single rescue animal alive may not be feasible if they wish to keep feeding and caring for new animals that are always coming in.  It's a true crying shame (like, actually real crying about it), but sometimes there isn't a better choice.

If they're uncurable Euthanasia is certainly the kindest option. But euthanising perfectly healthy animals or having cureable diseases doesn't get my approval.

We had a lot of shelter dogs. One from a research facility where they did fuck knows what to that poor girl. She certainly was mentally ill in the sense that she didn't let anyone close in the first few weeks. But that went away with time. She also was totally deaf and had diabetes, which we didn't know when taking her in. But it wouldn't have influenced our decision anyway. We gave her another six years, perfectly happy years as it seems, judging by her behavior.
