Is it more traumatizing to let an animal suffer in pain or to put it out of its misery?

Determining what is more traumatizing is subjective and can vary from person to person. However, it is generally considered more compassionate to put an animal out of its misery rather than allowing it to suffer in pain. Euthanasia can be a difficult decision to make, and it is important to consult with a veterinary professional who can provide guidance based on the individual situation and the animal's well-being.
