If you *have* to end your pets life because it's old and / or in pain

If they were to live the natural life that you so often advocate, then
of course there would be no euthanasia, they would just have to die in
pain and suffering.

Your concept of not harming 'sentient, intelligent beings' is a bit
elastic, to say the least.
