The freedom of animals, isn't as easily defined. For example, if you release a pride of zoo lions into the wild, they wouldn't last 5 minutes.

We view animals and our species very differently. Would you murder your child if you knew he had a incurable disease that would give him about 10 more years of life?

all animals change their environment to suit themselves. beavers built damns, moles dig tunnels, we are no different.

if my child was suffering, yes, i'd help him/her die. And i'd want my children to do the same for me, if it came to it.
