    Kind of seems like losing a pet is an important part of growing up tbh.

        I dunno accepting death as an inevitability seems important since since we otherwise struggle hard to ignore it in western culture and by extension can create a lot of suffering.

          A pet doesn’t need to die for that. If you look around… Death is everywhere!

      Accepting death is an important part of growing up, but no animal deserves to die just to be a goddamn teachable moment
