At facilities that care for sentient beings, like shelters.
From owners looking to rehome for a variety of reasons.
Developed allergy.
Lost job.
Became too sick or injured to provide care for said sentient beings.
This thread & the ideas of animals being chattel really is disturbing.
Good night.

I have not seen you criticize this at all so if I am mischaracterizing your position I apologize.

Why would I criticize her decision for her?
When you purchase something does it become your property?

My experiences with suicidal people. Not vast, but not inconsequential either.
And a ā ā ā ā ton of reading about psychological disorders of all kinds. Research, not just reading. Iāve had to deal with some whacked out people in my life.

If you purchase a dog, do you think you can do anything you want with it, including throw it off a roof?
Sheās in a place where none of that matters now.

If I purchase a dog I can take it to the vet and have it put down and never have to give them a reason. Animals are property. I raise and sell cattle and horses. They are my property. I can also put one down without ever telling anyone why.
You have no idea why she jumped with her dog. Maybe she found out the dog had cancer and was in great pain and she did not want to live without her dog.
I have no idea why she jumped. And neither do you.

*How would the state interfere?
Itās got nothing to do with control she put other lives in danger. It was a ā ā ā ā ā ā thing to do.

No vet that I know would put down a healthy animal just because the owner asked them to. If the dog had cancer and was in pain it should probably be put down, but not by plummeting to its death on a city sidewalk.

Sending the police or fire rescue. Grab her. Commit her. Put her in a conservatorship.

Jumping off a roof with it is illegal, dangerous, and the animal might survive with serious injuries. See the story I posted earlier about the man who jumped with his child.

No, which doesnāt make her actions any less reckless.
