Here is the story (not what I watched): http://vt.co/news/us/healthy-dog-is-euth...ead-owner/

Yeah I often make the point in these discussions, let's start considering our ethical attitudes towards animals who we are abusing right now and we know for sure have a capacity to suffer, before we start wondering about some sci-fi scenario that may never happen.
