Abused dog put to sleep

Wander was finally put to sleep after she was diagnosed with having cancer as a direct cause from her injuries. I don't know if putting her to sleep is a right decision. Looking at her injuries and vet's diagnosis, it seems so. However, looking at the picture, she still seems so much on the move.
If a human has such a condition, will he/she be given euthanasia? No. Because it's illegal in Singapore. For animals? Yes, because there are no rights for them. That's is why our society can so put so many strays to sleep because they are ill, because there is no place to house them, because, because, because.
There are a big place in our environment but they are frowned upon because our human kind says they are dirty, they are unhygenic, they may bite, this and that. So, our open environment is out (esp for stray dogs). Then where else to house them???
I am not judging. Perhaps putting to sleep is necessary for those whose conditions are really deteriorating. But I still don't know. If we know how the dogs and cats think, it may help lots.
For now, rest in peace, Wander. It's really sad to hear of your plight. And many more we have or have not heard. Wish you happiness in your other world.
I sincerely hope your abuser (and any other abusers) gets his/her justice.
