Patrick tackles the tough topic of euthanizing pets when they face terminal illness or extreme pain. He discusses how, according to the Church, it's not immoral to put a suffering animal to sleep, highlighting the key differences between animal souls and human souls. Euthanasia is a merciful release for pets, who can't understand their pain or time like humans do. This compassionate act spares them unnecessary suffering, unlike euthanizing a human being, which is deeply immoral due to the eternal nature of the human soul.
