A couple who are friends with me and my wife put their old dog down recently.  My wife found out the husband took it out back and shot it rather than taking it to the vet for the pink juice.

She was mortified. To the point she doesn't want to be friends with them.  Basically I told her some people are different and I didn't see anything wrong with it. Wife also couldn't kill an animal, while I am a hunter and that's just the facts of life. I asked her how she thought they put down animals before vets, and she said that was then.

Not concerned about the conversation with the wife, she wasn't phased. Just wondering if being okay with that method of putting your dog down makes me an asshole.
