Healthy dog euthanized in Virginia because owner wanted it buried with her

A healthy dog was put to death in Virginia at the behest of its owner, who made the request in her will.

Emma's owner, Anita Cullop-Thompson, 67, wanted to be interred with her pet, Morrissett Funeral and Cremation Service owner Larry Spiaggi told NBC News. NBC News sought comment from surviving family members of Cullop-Thompson. One could not immediately be reached and one declined to discuss the matter."Disgusting f------ nonsense," British comedianHouston radio personality Rod Ryan said he couldn't understand how Emma's death was legal."A woman who died in Virginia had stipulated that her dog be laid to rest with her ... even though it was perfectly healthy.

So we just murder dogs because some crazy bitch wants it?! I do not know why that would be allowed. Someone should have to answer for that.

😡😡😡😡

😡

That's bullshit!! Even if it's in a will, a dog is not an inanimate object!! The owner's family should be held responsible or whomever said it was ok.

Better than ending up on an Asian grill

That is horrific!

She probably could not bear the thought of her beloved dog having an uncertain future; possibly going to a bad home, or being left in a kill shelter. I can understand why she made that decision!

I can’t believe a vet did that to a healthy animal

Wow, just like that we jumped back into ancient history.

I'd ignore that request. And I wouldn't feel bad about it.

Horrible. Poor dog didn’t have a say in this.

At least eat the meat

While people die of starvation , NBC is concerned abt a healthy dog being euthanised. It just shows how the left is so terribly disconnected with the real world!

So what? Farmers make that call every day when they slaughter a beef or a hog or a lamb or any number of animals. Does that shock some writer at NBC. Hint: get out of the city for a week

What was she thinking? If she believed in heaven and hell Because of this horrific last request I would think she’s going to hades. The pup will go to heaven.

Yuck

I could see this happening if the animal was sick or to be buried at a later date. But to euthanize a healthy animal, whatever vet does this I Hope can’t sleep at night.

So twisted

Virginia is one sick place. IN THIS STATE killing a health animal is ILLEGAL!

That’s just not right

Is this now 1300B.C. Egypt?

Why is this newsworthy?

It?

Disgusting. Those responsible should be publicly ridiculed & charged with animal cruelty.

Terrible.

Selfish owner

I wish the libtards would get this upset about the babies that are being murdered weekly by PPFA

I am just so sad by this. I think dog should have been adopted out. Not right.

Whatever vet carried out that killing should lose their license.

She probably thought the animal would miss her so much. Faulty thinking. Instead make arrangements for a loving home to love the dog.

Oldlady12345 What the idiots, they don’t allow any animals buried with humans, what wastes to put poor dog down , so young 🤬

Oldlady12345 That’s disgusting

Euthanasia has a definition and it's not killing healthy animals (or people).

HOW MANY TIMES DOES NBC WANT TO REPEAT THIS CRAP!!!!!!!! Women have the choice millions of times to terminate healthy beings for selfish reasons. One more dog isn't a big deal.

They could have buried it with her after it had lived a full life. This seems like a selfish act to me.

selfish af

What the

😢😢

This excact thing was a morbid joke on (I believe) Family Guy, but with a cat. Funny because nobody would actually do this..... 🙄

Disgusting evil owner. Family should have tried everything possible to stop this.

This is disturbing but I guess good it wasn't a kid she was so attached to......

I hate this story.

What a selfish person. Wow.

This has to be some April fools crap, wth ?!!! 😡

WTF, people!

Good for her!

This was a very selfish motive all at the expense of killing an animal smh!

That is just wrong! I am sure my dogs would miss me but to kill them is just barbaric.

Shame on whomever put down the healthy dog! Should revoke his/her professional/technical/vet license ASAP. IntegrityMatters

Apparently nothing living is safe in Virginia.

OMG!!! What is WRONG with people!!! I would like to see animal cruelty charges brought up against the ppl that made that happen. Absolutely disgusting. What if the will said she wanted her grandchild buried with her? Hmmm? I can't wrap my mind around that level of stupidity. SMH

mmm

Shouldn't this be considered as Animal Abuse and Murder? Aren't there laws against this? It's like saying I want a healthy member of my family killed and buried with me. If we can't protect animals, how can we protect this from happening to a Human Being 😬😤?

I’m surprised she was able to find a veterinarian who would agree to euthanize a healthy animal - I work in a veterinary practice & this is antithetical to their values.

As awful as this story is, what’s worse is the killing of 1,000’s of unborn babies every year. Where is the outrage for that? Substitute “baby” for pet and read the story in a whole different way.

What a sick and demented woman.

Talk about a selfish human

Couldn't she just have reserved a spot next to her and left instructions to have the dog buried there when it died? It's not like she has to catch a train

Whoever killed that dog should go to jail

Narcissist defined😡

Healthy baby murdered in the womb because owner didn't want it just doesn't have the same ring to it, huh? AbortionisMurder

Wow

Can dogs take their humans with them when they go? (Asking for a friend.)

Disgusting.

Children are dying in American custody at the border. MemorialDayWeekend

What a selfish, self absorbed.... you know what!

Anyone who asks for this doesn’t truly care about their pet. This is disgusting

Does anyone have any balls? Can anyone not step up and do the right thing? What the fuck is wrong with people ?!

Amazing. This happens to babies every single day. I don't see you writing articles about it. AbortionisMurder

This is beyond selfish. I’ve got news for such people: When you die, you die. Your dog won’t be there to greet you on the other side.

Veternarian should be stripped of license.

yo Virginia fix your shit

That is so Not Right!!
