Why do some people say, “To put it bluntly” when they speak the truth?

Are you trying to be better than us?
When a vet said, “To put it very bluntly, sometimes the best way is to put a suffering animal is to put it to sleep. Not going to sugarcoat it, it means to kill it. I was horrified!!!
How can vets be so brutal? And doctors?
Meanies.

It's getting straight to the point, no sugar coating... Sometimes such an approach is required ...

@ozgirl512 She didn’t have to say “Ti put it bluntly”
It’s annoying when people do that.

@AutismGirl18 ok ...I can understand it upsets you and I'm sorry that it does

There's no easy way to tell somebody that death is the best option for their loved ones.

@5lutmuffin That’s awful. Why is life so brutally honest???? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😔😔😔😔

Because if the animal is too sick to recover or is in constant pain and unlikely to survive, it's better to end its life and ease that suffering.

@DearAmbellina2113 I know but it’s just cruel. I’ve heard about it but my friends and I were like 13 or 14 when we were told that. The vet said it’s the hardest thing they have to do but it’s life and sometimes you have to make a heartbreaking choice and life isn’t all rainbows and she thought we can handle that what she told us since we’re teenagers.

@AutismGirl18 kids should learn about death as early as possible because it can come at any age.

@DearAmbellina2113 Yeah that’s true. My dad said their job is to not make kids feel better but to prepare them for the hardships of life.

What are putting something bluntly means to give it to you as it is. Maybe he could’ve been a bit more tactful

@Speedyman It’s a she. She didn’t have to say that
Speedyman · 70-79, M
I agree. Having had to have an animal put down which is very dear to us tact is required@AutismGirl18

@Speedyman She wasn’t mean when she said it. She was tactful but brutal.
