Are you sure you don't have any "Helsing" in your family background?
The truth is something that can hurt people. Best to not proxy the suffering. We put pets "to sleep" for a reason. Dignity. It isn't considered inhumane to do that, so I agree with you - end the suffering, and move onto the next.
Endings are just new beginnings. Opportunities to learn.
Failed businesses are failed!
There is no government.
So there is no handout or bailout.
The end.
