E.G
Dogs are put down of they are illegal dogs or dangerous. They are usually put down if ill.

Illegal immigrants usuallu stayin the country the immagrate to, they aren't put down or sent back. Ill people are always attemptedto be saved.

These are oly examples

Because illegal immigrants aren't dogs. They're human beings, and comparing an illegal immigrant to a dog doesnt look very good for your arguemet.... Actually thats pretty sick. Thats like saying a person who came to another country illegally should be killed because they came there due to economic or social problems.

So why are illegal dogs put down? Ok, illegal immigrants immigrate to escape disaster. Dogs 'immigrate' because they're taken by they're ownders with no choice, so guilty immigrants have no punishment, innocent ones do.

I'm not just talking immigrants, it's against the law in most countries to put a human down if they're ill, but non-human animals are often put down when ill, even if they can be saved.

I'm not just talking immigrants, it's against the law in most countries to put a human down if they're ill, but non-human animals are often put down when ill, even if they can be saved.

Illegal dogs are put down because they could carry diseases or things into the country, which is why they have a process to allow an owner to bring a dog.

Its against the law in all countries to put a human down if they're ill, they either suffer through the illness or they go to a hospital. The only time a human is put down is if they are found guilty of a despicable crime, like murdering a police officer. The other time is if they are a vegetable, and there is no hope of the person recovering, and that the persons family agrees to it.

Look.... a human is nothing like a common animal. A common animal is not sentient, which you saying "I'm not just talking immigrants, it's against the law in most countries to put a human down if they're ill, but non-human animals are often put down when ill, even if they can be saved." is extremely ignorant, especially since you continue comparing an humans to an animal.... As I stated above, animals carry diseases, that could harm or kill not only humans but animals in the environment. It is also untrue that common animals are put down if there is a way to save it. There are associations and foundations for the rehabilitation of animals, such as if someone found a squirrel that has some sort of bacterial infection, they'd help it until it is better and can take care of itself, in which it is released. However say that squirrel had an uncurable disease, such as rabies, which is dangerous to both humans and animals, would have to be put down.

And people carry more diseases than dogs.

Oh, I thought somewhere in Russia did it.

Ok, I'm going to sort of go a little off the point here.

And humans do all this too. They poach, murder, destroy the environment, basically destroy the planet.

And if a human has an uncureable disease, they aren't put down. Either left, or at least the doctors TRY to save them.


I THINK most of that applies to the rest of your post too.. please correct me if I'm wrong.

To be honest Chipmunk I don't really think your stance in illegal immigrants is going to be very popular, lol. The others have already made a good argument though so i won't get in the way here

Not just illegal immigrants, just people in general.

I should change the question to: Why Are Non-Human Animals Put Down When Humans Aren't?
Thats better.
