Dog in 'Will battle' has passed away

[Catherine]

The whole thing is sad. It is sad that the owner died and left her dog behind. It is worse that she wanted the dog put down. It is better that Bela died from an illness. You don't want to set a precedent under the law that allows healthy animals to be put down because of someone's will. This was just one dog who died anyhow. Someday it might be a whole lot of healthy animals and the legal precedent would have opened the way for them to all be killed without question.

I wonder why she would want Bela to be put down like that?
