Reply to comment by absolutelyshafted in TIL Helen Keller is credited with having introduced the Akita, a Japanese dog breed, to the United States by berkosaurus

Yup. And usually the victims of it don’t support it. Helen Keller was a very clear cut candidate for it.

Very leopards ate my face of her

Maybe that was why she was an advocate?

She didn’t think someone should have to live through the struggles and hardships she did.

That isn’t why she was an advocate though. She literally didn’t view herself as somebody that would qualify for euthanasia lol she was completely hypocritical. She was the daughter of slave owning elites that were high ranking members of the confederate army, it’s not really that shocking she developed some controversial and tone deaf/hypocritical views.
