I think there should be several steps before euthanising healthy animals. Put it up for adoption, a no kill shelter, let it go stray, a timed kill shelter, etc

In that case, the same logic applies when the shelter is full / has to make space for new animals. Trust me, there's never enough room in a shelter.

let it go stray

Congrats, you've either condemned it to a more painful death or increased the workload of the local animal control.
