The family had already agreed that euthanasia was the humane Choice. My daughter is a veterinarian and feels that Carbon monoxide is just As painless As injection.

Dear smokers Etc meet Leland Moody who backs you up All the Way dear Abby dear Abby like you i have no affection for secondhand smoke. Also like you 1 have no affection for hysterical or deliberate falsehoods such As the Epars report that secondhand tobacco smoke is a class a Carcinogen. My Point is that each individual must Deal with this annoyance on his own terms but not on the basis that secondhand smoke is a lethal threat. To do otherwise is to be at least ignorant of the facts if not deliberately dishonest. Leland Moody a non smoker in Nipomo Calif.
