My thoughts are that euthanasia and spay/neuter should be the lowest cost possible.  People that take their pets to a vet and spend money on the visit, x-rays and/or other tests should not be gouged when the vet returns a death sentence for the animal. I had something like that happen with a pet. The euthanasia cost more than the visit and x-rays for a tiny rabbit. Go figure! Also, I have a pet peeve with the cost of spays for rabbits.  There isn't a low cost spay for them. SPCA doesn't spay rabbits even though a vet I know offered to teach the vet there how to do it. The least expensive rabbit spay is about $280 & some vets charge over $500. Only the richest of people can usually afford that. I don't necessarily agree that people should not have pets they can't afford. To some, esp the elderly, it is really important to have a companion. There are many doe rabbits that are dumped because they can be cranky if they aren't spayed, plus they're more likely to get cancer. Quit gouging me!
