While I agree it was probably best to let her die, since she wasn't (according to the doctors AFAIK) aware, I think it's a bit sad they had to starve her to death.
I think doing that to an animal would (should) be illegal in a lot of places, but in the absence of the euthanasia alternative I guess there was no choice.
Wow, the conservatives' version of treehuggers and anti-war protesters.
