We do not put down old people just because they are old, do we?
We don't even put down old people who are sick because they are sick...do we?
Although I have heard cases of people who have incurable illness choose to go peacefully, that is their right to choose. The dogs are not given the option to choose.
However, it is understandable when the dog is put down due to the illness is causing great physical suffering to the dog. Any other reason does not seem fine to me.
