Off the bat, the author's argument had some valid points.

But I still do not

stand with Bilger's Opinion. Any life is just as crucial to human life, but the author
disagreed. No matter the situation, I believe that any life should be given the best
possible chance to be natural, healthy, and happily live their full life. In this essay,
I will explain why any life is worth living and saving in any situation.

In the story told by Burkhard Bilger named "The Last Meow," he argues
that sometimes someone else has to make the tough decision of letting go of a
loved one when the medical issues get too serious. In this story, a woman with
much love for this cat, her furry friend, is going through so many health issues.
She never did give up, no matter the money, time, or mental well-being she had
to go through. The story ends up going to the tough decision being decided by
her husband to pull the cat's plug despite his wife's opinion. I'm afraid I have to
disagree with her husband's decision because he has no idea how much
emotional attachment she has to her beloved furry friend. That decision was not
for her best, but I think it was in his best financial needs, which is not okay.

I have not had many pets growing up. But, I had three lizards and four
birds. Sadly, all three of my lizards got sick, and my mom went to the Vet to get
them back to their healthy state. Eventually, my father decided for her to put the
lizards down. My mom, sister, and I did not get to say goodbye to our loved pets,
where we got to see the deceased in a box with a rose on top. This event
occurred for me at a very young age and still hurts me to remember that today. I
had two birds growing up, One was my sister's, and one was mine. The older bird
was named birdie, and mine was called Pepper. Pepper was not the smartest.
One day, she flew into a wall, and the impact took her life. Birdie and Pepper
were best friends, and eventually, birdie died of depression because she lost her
companion. Losing your pets is never easy as you grow to be attached and want
them to grow old with you, but it is just not realistic. The point of those two tragic
stories is that it is never someone else's decision to make when it comes to your
loved pet's life. I stand for the owner who is closest with the pet to make the
tough decision.

In conclusion, the author and I have two polar opposite views on this
touchy subject. I oppose that any life should be given the best potential, and it is
up to the closest person to the animal to make that tough decision. He thinks that
sometimes others have to make the tough decision for you, but it can lead to
grief for the decision-maker. So it is best to leave it up to the closest owner.
