Mercy killing is when a patient suffering from an
incurable and painful disease is killed, usually using large doses of
painkilling drugs. The person choses to do this because they think that it is
the best way to relieve there pain. This is done to many humans because they
don’t want to live the life of having to hold the pain and die slowly so
instead they rather ask to take pills so that they would just sleep and not
wake up at all. On animals it is done because if a person sees that an animal
is suffering than they feel bad and decide to just kill them so they won’t feel
anymore pain. In the book “Of Mice and Men” Carlson killed Candy’s dog
because he was already old and could barely move, and the dog was also smelly
and so Carlson told Candy to kill the dog.
