We can also have dogs "put to sleep" but not people. You can also keep a dog on a leash. If a dog dies, there's no need for a coroner's report. It's not _that_ odd that human and dog medicine are held to different levels of testing and safety.

It's not like this is without controversy; it's an active political battle.

I think this was rather implying we put down dogs, if they break too expensive to fix. The vaccine was probably grinding through loads of "pets" in development.
Very different than "putting down" terminally ill people on their own choice and action.
Tho, maybe similar to the eugenic endeavors of the past. I hope you're not implying that's what's in debate again.

Depending on where you live, you can have humans "put to sleep" as well.
It is legal in 9 US states, Canada, parts of Australlia, and probably otherplaces as well.

Some people keep their children on a leash as well.

I think in most of those places you have to ask the human first.

No, people just put their kids on leashes in public. Itβs... well, wild but the opposite.
