It’s actually way worse, because you can have a dog put down that is perfectly healthy, even when other people want to adopt the dog.
If you have a dog you literally own it, and the only regulation that protects the dog are rules against animal cruelty.
You cannot own a human being.
Unless this was a case of USA defaultism, slavery still exists. In fact there’s more slaves today than ever before. 50 million slaves last I checked. Mostly because overall human population has obviously increased drastically too but I digress.
Also USA constitution exempts prisoners so still okay in a limited capacity.
Exactly, and when you could, it was also allowed to beat them to death, as long as they didn’t die immediately, but it took a day or two. Those are the rules of the bible.
OK then you are more progressed than we are here in Denmark.
But our neighbor did exactly what I wrote, in her defense she was dying of cancer, but we and another family she knew both offered to adopt the dog, the dog was very fond of both of us, my wife walked it daily, and when we visited, the dog would jump on the couch and lie across my lap, which it did for nobody else. But she went ahead and had the dog put down anyway. Perfectly legal as it is done humanely.
My wife actually has trauma about the incident, because the vet came to her house, and my wife was there for support, and when my wife found the leash to hold him, he was so filled with joy because he thought they were going for a walk, but it was only to hold him while he was injected.
So here you can have perfectly healthy happy good dogs put down, even when 2 families were ready to adopt it.
Her reason for doing it was that she didn’t want the dog to miss her after she died.
From experience, it was hard to have a healthy dog put down. It was my dad’s dog and my dad had dementia. It was a very aggressive dog and killed other dogs in the pack. I had to keep convincing the vet it was a danger to have. It wasn’t an easy process.

If it wasn’t your dog, you are not the one to decide, obviously your dad having dementia means he isn’t fit to make the decision. You did well in this case. And I think the doctor was acting according to regulation.

So yes you can have perfectly healthy happy good dogs put down, you don’t even have to give a reason. They also do it at rescue shelters all the time.

Anymore. Humans can be amazing and very cruel.
But yes, ask a veterinarian and they will tell you sadly why.

Privatized prisons are slavery too, you’re right.
State-run prisons where labor can be required would also qualify as slavery by any definition.
Depends I guess if you view UNICOR as private or not since it’s government owned. We call them crown corporations in Canada.

Not here in Germany. You won’t find a vet who will kill a healthy animal. Kill shelters are also not a thing. Ditto the UK.
