we let humans suffer for the sake of an invisible sky-father, we put our pets out of their misery.

I lived out in the country, and I had to explain to my lady the difference between the Country Veterinarian and the Suburban Veterinarian. The former comes out to look at livestock, and if the sick animal cannot be treated in an economical manner, then that's it. The latter knows that people will spend thousands of dollars to keep Fluffy going for a few more months.

I'm sorry that you had to go through this loss, know that you gave your friend a great life.
