Funny, that’s the same way I look at people that take their animal to a vet to get them euthanized.
They are getting somebody else to do what they aren’t willing to do.
I don't get your statement. I've had to take 3 cats to the vet to have them euthanized. Each time the decision was extremely hard. They were sick....having survived Feline Diabetes and being Hyper Thyroid, they had added congestive heart failure or renal failure.
Each precious kitty let me know they were done with meds and being messed with. I held them in my arms and comforted them as they crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. I see nothing more humane than this. I don't know how I was "getting somebody else to do what" I wasn't willing to do?
One of the biggest obstacles to euthanizing your own pet is the fact that it is impossible to obtain the drug, so the owner is left with suffocation, gunshot, or something similar.

So, what would you do, big man? Take the dog out and shoot it? Yeah, I've read your type here on FR before. Testosterone is your middle name.
I had a big old Maine Coon that suffered from chronic respiratory infections. After a year of going on and off antibiotics, he really deteriorated. The vet gave him little chance of survival.
My wife and I held him when the vet injected the sedative directly into his stomach. We held him while his eyes dilated and his body passed through the convulsions. We kept holding him after the vet checked his heartbeat and said he passed.
