Every no-kill shelter I've heard of does exactly that. They wouldn't euthanize animals just to make space, but they'd absolutely do it for humane reasons in animals that are beyond help.

It's like mistaking the alternative to pro-life is pro-death. No-kill isn't the strict opposite of the pounds that kill in big numbers, otherwise the title of this post would have just used the word no-kill, and wouldn't have been at all unique to hear about.

Hello! I had an oddly similar thing happen. It was combined with a strange situation where my parents lost their insurance and my dentist refused to remove my braces without a large sum of money (which my jobless parents of course didn't have). I ended up having to keep the braces that were eating my teeth on for about 5 years longer than needed without a single adjustment or checkup. When they removed the brackets most of my teeth broke off huge chunks. The insurance I used at the time only covered extensive fillings and shitty crowns, all of which have failed dozens of times and are continuously painful. I can't eat normally, lots of pain, you know the routine.

Would you mind telling me more about what it's like to get implants? How much pain is there compared to other procedures? How permanent are they? Anything else at all would help. :)

Oh wow, I would go through hell and back to have a corrected bite. I also have TMJ and my front bottom teeth out a ridiculous amount of pressure on the upper ones (all crowns) which has lead to lots of problems. Many times none of my back teeth touch, it's ridiculous.

I've had pretty intense dental surgery a few times but implants seem like a whole new level. If the time comes I can afford it though, I'm sure it would be worth it!
