Humans aren't as fragile as animals. Humans can think for themselves and act upon it while animals cannot. Although I agree humans should be able to be euthanized, I don't think there's a need for it, that's why suicide exists.
Euthanization is only used when the situation is dire, not to save money. In many cases the pet is too old to survive surgery as it would put a huge strain on their body, and leaving a pet to die from pain and suffering is the worst thing an owner could do when their pet's life is going to inevitably end very soon.
A lot of thought and consideration goes into euthanizing a pet from both the owner and vet, so don't just assume owners kill their pets on a whim.
IIN we kill pets that suffer but we don't kill suffering humans?
