Opioid recreation brings euphoric euthanasia

Poor fido

Watching too many of those pet rescue type documentaries recently.

"We've rescued fido from his cruel owners, but the most humane thing to do is put him out of his misery".

Maybe he didn't want to be rescued if that was his fate.

Anyway, enter the opioid recreation park. Prior to lethal injection to sooth the misery of arthritis and all too expensive medical conditions, the pet or animal is injected with opioids or whatever happy drug works for them. Stoked up on pain-killing happy drugs they can have one last romp around like when they were a puppy.

       From the title, I had a horrible feeling this was a beanybaby idea.

       Couldn't resist the beany word formulation seeing as I had a few big ones to play with.

       I don't recall any of my puppies stumbling around in a drug induced haze. My pups ran and leaped in the air like some sort of synchronized canine display of ballet.   

       Then they went home and chewed the shit outta anything that was standing still.   

       Now if you were to include the *pet walkers* in your little opiate play, then HELL YES...count me in.

       //puppies stumbling around in a drug induced haze//   

       I guess there hasn't been much research on happy drugs for pets. Your addition might work instead. The owner gets grief alleviating drugs and the pet thinks "Oh crap, he's high again, kill me, kill me now !"

       I've always thought that certain pets must have absolutely super-duper veterinary care because it's they who have the drugs and techniques developed on them in the first place. We humans just get their cast-offs in a way, because not enough painful or lethal research is done on us. Guinea pigs and rats must have fantastic health care. So [bigsleep], i wouldn't be so sure about that. Maybe their happy drugs are better than ours.

       Interesting.   

       As I said, don't much about this, but what a crap way to go for a pet. Better to strap on the auto-lethal injection kit so that his last memory is being on the handle bars of the Harley.

       Interesting use of the word "memory" there.

       Is this where Soylent red and Soylent blue come from?
ye_river_xiv, Jun 08 2009
  

       I have often wondered about those other colors of Soylent. Maybe a sequel is in order.

       Wikipedia is great.   

       "Half of the world's population survives on processed rations produced by the massive Soylent Corporation (from soy(bean) + lent(il)), including Soylent Red and Soylent Yellow, which are advertised as "high-energy vegetable concentrates". The newest product is Soylent Green - a small green wafer which is advertised as being produced from "high-energy plankton". ?

       Whats with the Soylent RGB stuff ? Is this an "I see dead people" monitor gag ?
bigsleep, Jun 08 2009
  

       I think it must be working its way through the spectrum. Maybe Soylent Blue is made of aliens or something.
