Socks the Cat's Cancer Battle

It's amazing how we care more about an animal's quality of life than a human being's. Animals get euthanized and put out of their misery on a daily basis because we dont want them to suffer or be in pain. But humans dont get that choice. If I were diagnosed with cancer today and said I didn't want treatments, I would get taken to court and be forced to suffer through my illness. So many people, especially the elderly, get their quality of life stripped from them because of something as dumb as politics. But oh let it be a sick animal and we fall over ourselves to give it a painless, peaceful ending. Lucky cat.
