The public i'm talking about. Animal shelters are forced to do that, and no I dont really like knowing that either.
The only reason no kill shelters are able to keep an animal forever if they never get adopted is because that shelter has the funds to do so and from donations, and lots of volunteers/workers to help care for all those animals which is alot of work. But it's alot of work to do that and most shelters just dont have the time or money to do so so they are forced to euthanize pets, possibly to give pets who are more adoptable a chance than those that were less adoptable, I really dont know.
It's sad either way but they have licensed vets do the dirty work so that means by law they are allowed to do so. Not to mention there are other laws involved like disposing of the body properly in a way not violating any health codes.
