If Grandpa were a dog...

Yeah, i know it's a bit of a bizarre title, but think about it. What if we treated our elderly like we treat our pets?

• Oops, Grandpa can't control his bladder so well, he simply can't live inside anymore.
• Oh no, we can't possibly cope with such a senile old fart, he's going to have to go live with another family. If no one takes him, we'll just leave him on the side of the road.
• Oh dear, we're moving overseas. Well Grandpa, we're just going to have to send you to the old folks re-distribution centre and see if anyone wants to take you in. We, of course, will never think of you again.
• Well, it seems Grandpa has gone deaf/blind/smells funny. We'll have to have him put down. Bye Bye Grandpa!
