The Villain with Good Publicity declares that Bob, who is ailing, needs to be Put on a Bus to some place where he can be cared for. They might subsequently bring news of Bob's happy arrival at his new home, updates on his treatment, and finally a tear-jerking account of Bob's death off-screen. In some cases, Bob recovers, but (for one reason or another) he can never see his friends again. (Don't worry; he has a lot of new friends now and he's very happy.)
The other characters may be comforted by this news, but the audience knows that it's all a horrible lie — Bob was dead as soon as they took him away. The hospital, and indeed, the entire charade, was just a ruse to keep his friends from realizing that his execution was planned from the start, right down to the disposal of his corpse.
Features a lot in Dystopian settings, particularly those that pretend to be a Utopia, and the revelation of the Awful Truth does not often happen until late in the story, meaning that most of the examples listed here will be spoilers. When the revelation actually happens, it's usually the moment when the true evil of the government in the setting is revealed.
The other form of this trope has parents using this excuse to cover up the impending or actual death of a beloved family pet. The traditional method of this is to say that the animal was given to a family with a lovely farm. (Sadly, as real-life farm owners will attest, this trope is sometimes invoked by people wanting to get rid of unwanted pets, as owners dump animals off near the property in hopes Fluffy will have a soft life eating mice and drinking milk.)
Compare Never Say "Die", Dog Got Sent to a Farm, Parent Never Came Back from the Store, and Deadly Euphemism. See Win Your Freedom. Sister Trope to No Longer with Us, when an innocent saying is mistaken for a euphemism for death. The Trope Namer is The Giver.

Inverted in Barbara Slate's Angel Love: Angel was told by her mother that her father died and went to heaven. In truth, as revealed by Angel's sister Mary Beth (later renamed Maureen McMeal), Angel's father left the house after the mother discovered that he was sleeping with Mary Beth, and is possibly still alive.

Inverted in The Smurfs episode "The Clockwork Smurf". While Imperia and Thorick plan to move Prince Gerard to a dungeon where he will rot in obscurity for the rest of his life, she devises a cover story that the prince fell ill and would eventually die, granting his aunt the right to be queen in his place. Of course, Prince Gerard foils this plan and reveals himself to be healthy and alive before Imperia is crowned queen.

Kanou dies in episode 14 of Nurse Angel Ririka SOS. As Ririka cannot reveal that he is an alien from another dimension she instead opts to say he went back to London. She spends the episode distraught and in tears due to being unable to tell anyone. Her friends just think she's upset because her crush moved away. It doesn't help that no one but her friend Seiya is allowed to know, so she has no shoulder to cry on. This is one of the things that makes Ririka doubt being a Magical Girl.

In the finale of The Salvation War, just as the human army is getting ready to storm the capital of Heaven — the Eternal City (or just Nuke It), a word gets around that "Yahweh has gone into seclusion for a long period of meditation and contemplation, leaving the throne to his trusted general Michael". The Genre Savvy Thai General immediately remarks, "Ah, so Michael killed him." She's right, of course.

Inverted in Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb. After Fitz's psychic bond with a puppy (considered a perversion and a use of evil magic) is discovered by Burrich, the puppy is taken away and Fitz is convinced through all of his childhood and into his adult life that the puppy was killed. It wasn't; Fitz meets with the dog later on in a different kingdom, where he had been given to the royal family as breeding stock for their hunting dogs.

Andor: In the brutal Penal Colony of Narkina 5, prisoners are kept working by the hope of finishing their sentences and going free. In "Nobody's Listening!", it's revealed that "release" simply means "getting transferred to another section of the prison labor system", and prisoners were killed en masse when an administrative mixup caused this to be discovered. Learning that release isn't real is what causes the formerly complacent foreman Kino to finally side with Cassian's hope for a prison break.

The pet version is also parodied in The Vicar of Dibley: as a child, Alice had a pet budgie named Carrot, who was replaced by several different "Carrots" by her mother. Unlike other versions where the pet would be identical, Alice assumed each budgie (which looked vastly different) had simply been reincarnated, Doctor Who-style.

In one episode of Sei Juushi Bismarck, Bismarck team leader Shinji Hikari encounters a gang of plucky rebels-without-a-cause and becomes fond of one of their female members. Later on, the gang is kidnapped by the villainous Deathcula, who blackmail the girl and one of the remaining members into helping with their scheme. When the girls meet with the Deathcula agent to demand the release of their friends as promised, he responds that their friends have "already been released" and tells them they can join them... then shoots them both dead. The enraged Shinji proceeds to violently and brutally beat the Deathcula agent to death with his bare hands. Unsurprisingly, this episode was not adapted into Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs.

In Harry Turtledove's Timeline-191 series, places like Camp Determination in the CSA exterminate millions of people in the Freedom Party's program of genocide against the Confederacy's black population. The primary reason that blacks rarely resist the mass murder is because they are told that it is merely a transit camp, and that they are sorted from there to other concentration camps. The Freedom Party actually does have camps at these locations, but their primary reason for being built is to add credibility to the cover story told to inmates.

In Urinetown, those that try to cheat the law and not pay to use a public toilet are sent to a penal colony known as Urinetown, never to return, and not even the daughter of the villain knows what or where it is. It turns out to be, at least in Bobby Strong's case, being thrown off the top of the UGC headquarters building. This is played with early on (well before the official Reveal) when Officer Lockstock admits that if they just yelled "There is no Urinetown! We just kill people!", there'd be no dramatic tension.

Tales of the Bounty Hunters: Dengar manages to rescue a hundred thousand Aruzans in "Paypack" by having them shipped off in an Imperial dungeon ship the Rebel Alliance captured, including Manaroo's parents and friends. The official in charge asks where they're going, but Dengar simply answers scornfully that he doesn't really want to know. Dengar notes that many dissidents across the galaxy "disappear" in the Empire and that smart people don't look into it, so this is good cover for rescuing them.

Played with in the Jessie episode "101 Lizards". Ravi decides to send away Mrs. Kibblings' 12 baby lizards after seeing how they are too much to handle. He gives them to a young woman named Cassandra, who was revealed to be Mrs. Chesterfield's daughter. He and Jessie are then led to believe that Mrs. Chesterfield is planning on slaughtering the lizards and making them into clothing. Ironically enough, Mrs. Chesterfield actually did send the lizards to live in a farm upstate by opening a lizard sanctuary.

The underground village of Adai in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann has little food and and water and are unable to reliably care for more than 50 people. Every time the population reaches more than 50 people, they draw straws to see who gets "the blessing of the gods" meaning they get sent up to the surface, which is crawling with Humongous Mecha that are charged to kill anyone on the surface. Tragedy ensues when a pregnant woman gives birth to triplets, bringing the population to 52. The family with triplets doesn't "win," but two Heartwarming Orphans (Gimmy and Darry) do, specifically because they were orphans and therefore had no family to grieve for them. An older but sharp boy (Rossiu) then learns the truth and decides to go with them: to help care for the orphans and to help maintain the Masquerade by removing himself and the possibility of uncomfortable questions. The dark nature of the trope is subverted in this case, as the whole episode occurs while Simon and Kamina's group were in their city; the trio end up going with them, becoming significant characters as the series progresses. However, it does add further tragedy, since Rossiu is placed in an extremely similar situation post-Time Skip, and the strain of botching it and almost getting Earth and all of humanity killed by the Anti-Spirals is too much for him.

Fullmetal Alchemist:
A variation occurs in Fullmetal Alchemist (2003). The people that Father Cornello resurrects are only ever seen behind a veil, and immediately leave town once they're fully regenerated. They were never actually resurrected, Cornello just uses a chimera made of parrots to mimic their voice.
Inverted by the Fifth Laboratory. The official word is that the condemned prisoners have been executed, but in fact, they have been used as fodder for inhuman experiments, including multiple instances of people's souls being attached to suits of armor while their bodies rot.

According to a "day in the life" story in the Eberron sourcebook Secrets of Sarlona, anyone in Riedra who discovers the truth about the Inspired is said to be under the influence of evil spirits and taken away to be "helped" — and even though people know that such unfortunates will never be seen again, they never question this.

Z for Zachariah: The ending features an ambiguous example. Loomis tells Ann that his romantic rival Caleb has left for a previously mentioned Safe Zone Hope Spot. However, the audience is shown that Caleb had been interested in staying around to romance Ann while expressing doubt that the safe zone is real, right before he ended up hanging from a cliff with Loomis in a position to let him fall or save him. Caleb may have decided to leave after all due to gratitude for Loomis saving his life or fear about how Loomis almost didn't, but it's also highly likely that Loomis did kill Caleb and is lying to Ann.

In the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao receives the surrender of Liu Cong, which gives him control of most of Jing province. Cao thinks Liu might make trouble later, so he promotes Liu Cong to a position that would require him to serve from the capital. While he and his mother are on their way there, Cao has them assassinated by Yu Jin. Note that this is one of the parts of the novel that isn't historically accurate: the real fate of Liu Cong is unknown.

SCP Foundation:
In the orientation and training of D-Class Personnel, the Foundation assures them that they'll be pardoned and released at the end of the month. If D-class personnel do manage to survive their month of testing with incredibly dangerous objects and entities, they are executed at the end of it anyway to ensure security.note Actually subverted; the existence of "Monthly Termination" in object documentation is actually an SCP item itself. The practice is never mentioned in any official Foundation policy, and even the O5 Council recognizes it as a needless waste of human capital.
The old "pet ran away to a farm" scenario is used with SCP-1590, a real-life Hidden Object Game where one player was sent to a farmyard where he was tasked to "Find the graves of all seven of your childhood pets your parents told you ran away".

The April 26, 2009 strip of Garfield has Garfield attempt to cover up eating the fish by typing a letter informing Jon that the fish had left to join the French Foreign Legion and leaving the letter in the empty fishbowl. Jon isn't fooled, as he sees a lemon slice and a jar of tartar sauce nearby.

Pirates SMP: A few days after capturing Marnie, the Hooded Figures inform Owen that she has been "released" from imprisonment, which is what he reiterates to everyone else who has gotten captured in the meantime. The truth is that Marnie has been Taken for Granite and is effectively dead; Owen and everyone else don't find out about this until after escaping from imprisonment themselves on Day 76.

In A Boy and His Dog, the underground bunker nation of Topeka is ruled by a three-person council who sends all people guilty of not having the right attitude to "the Farm," and then decides how they died on the Farm (cancer, tractor accident,etc.), before handing them over to Michael the robot, who snaps their necks.

Played with in Corky Romano: While Corky, a veterinary assistant, is on leave posing as an FBI agent to help his Family, a wiseguy fills in for him at the vet clinic. A boy comes in with a stone-dead white mouse and says, "Mister, something's wrong with Sniffles!" The wiseguy takes the dead mouse into the back, throws it in a wastebasket, picks a live white mouse out of a cage full of them, goes back to the waiting room and says, "Here you are, kid, he's fine, he just needed a new liver."

In Pirate101, the player is sent by the king and queen of Monquista to deliver Gortez, Monquista'a greatest hero gone mad, to Zenda to "rest and recuperate." The player is also given a letter of instructions for the guard. When the guard reads the letter it's clear Gortez is to be executed for embarrassing the crown. The letter also said the player was to be executed as well.

Use of Weapons features a blatantly Nazi-esque tyrant who rounds up ethnic minorities and puts them on trains — supposedly to resettle them elsewhere, but they're actually immediately killed. The Sociopathic Hero gives an Ironic Echo when he comes for the guy — at first telling him he'll be humanely imprisoned in The Culture, he compares this to being resettled, and then starts talking about the actual fate of the guy's subjects. He reassures him that The Culture is not nearly so harsh. Then he tells him he is no longer affiliated with The Culture, and kills the tyrant.

In one chapter in the first The Mysterious Benedict Society book, Reynie worries that if they get caught as spies Mr. Curtain will erase their memories. However after further thinking, he starts worrying that Mr. Curtain will kill them instead. Mr. Curtain has used the term "departed" as a euphemism for when people mysteriously go missing. One of his secret messages is even "The missing aren't missing, they're only departed.":

There is a double whammy in Asimov's The Gods Themselves book. The young Soft Ones are told that they "pass on" at the end of their life cycle. Later the rebellious Dua says that "passing on" is an euphemism for death and they shouldn't mince words. But still later we learn that they DON'T die, but morph into a more advanced lifeform. (They have to be ignorant of the morphing process for it to work properly; hence the vague term "pass on"). And then we finally find out that their personalities disappear during the morphing process, so they do effectively die.

Hart's War features a scene cut from the movie which references this. One of the prisoners helping Hart investigate the murder is conspicuously removed from the camp, supposedly for a prisoner exchange, while loudly accusing his escort of being a Gestapo officer who plans to murder him once they're out on sight. Later the hero is taken away by the same man. It turns out that he really is taking them to a prisoner exchange and both prisoners survive the war.

A failed example occurs in Kingdom Hearts. Ursula told Ariel that she'll help her see other worlds if she obtains the Triton from her estranged father, King Triton. Once Ariel followed that command, Ursula gloats to Ariel that she'll see other worlds, but in this case, it's the Realm of Darkness (or, as Ursula puts it, "the dark world of the Heartless"). However, since Flotsam and Jetsam cannot find the Keyhole, Ursula's intended genocide against Atlantica is foiled.

The Red Green Show gives us an example in one of their segments called "The Experts". In it, a viewer writes in to talk about how his car is great, except it has such limited rear visibility that a St. Bernard could fall asleep behind it and the driver wouldn't notice until after pulling away. The viewer's question is thus, "How do you tell a child their pet is dead?" Red's advice is to lie by saying the dog has run off, joined the circus, and will be back in a couple of years. This is also what he told Harold when his hamster died, and Harold still believes him.

In Fables, the title group consists mainly of people gathered in two locations- the community in New York City for those who can pass for human or don't mind staying hidden, and the Farm upstate, where the strange-looking (or, on occasion, misbehaved) ones live to hide from prying eyes. The one guy who ever notices that the NYC group is a little weird and decides to look closer overhears discussions of people being "sent to the Farm" and assumes this trope. He is, naturally, wrong.

In The Underland Chronicles, the rats are "relocating" all the mice in the Underland. Turns out that they're actually leading the mice to their doom without them suspecting anything. Not surprising, considering that the story is based on the Holocaust.

Pokémon Black and White: Team Plasma made it known in the public eye that their goal was to liberate Pokemon from trainers on the grounds that any human contact was bad for Pokemon and was equivalent to enslavement. Said "liberated" Pokemon invariably wound up being exploited to further their (actually nefarious) ambitions, though some of them start getting second thoughts. Ghetsis, you double-tongued abomination...

In the Bob's Burgers episode "An Incon-wheel-ient Truth", Bob and Linda have to deal with a lie they had earlier told the kids, that their beloved but gigantic toy Wheelie Mammoth had been given to a roller rink and helped to teach orphans to skate. In reality they had just hauled it into a donation truck and hoped the kids would forget about it, but it eventually found its way to a flea market the Belchers were visiting.

A variant: Richard Adams' Watership Down features a rabbit warren that is farmed by humans. Rabbits are routinely captured and killed by the humans. The rabbits of the warren are in deep, deep denial about this (since the humans also leave food out for them and shoot all the predators), so it is a great taboo to ask where another rabbit is or speculate that someone has gone missing. To talk openly of the wires is everybunny's Berserk Button.

In The Elder Scrolls series, Morag Tong members speak of the secret island of Vounoura, the place all members must eventually go to for retirement if they become too infamous in the public eye or live long enough to grow too old to carry out assassinations. There are some sinister implications about Vounoura though, most notably that the Morag Tong's leadership refuses to tell anything other than very vague details about the place. Furthering the implication, it is known that the Grandmaster of the order is "honorably executed" by his successor. It would come as little surprise if this were the fate of other "retiring" members as well.

In 8mm, Tom Welles finds out early on that the girl he's been tasked to find is dead. He plants the girl's diary where he knows her mother (who isn't his client) will find it and believe that she ran away to Hollywood. Later on he tells her the truth because he wants her permission to kill the men responsible for the girl's rape and murder.

In the eighth book of the Sword of Truth series, Naked Empire, the eponymous land has only two punishments for criminals: 1) Give them another chance and encourage them to change their ways, or 2) banish them beyond "the boundary." It turns out the boundary, a magical barrier where The Underworld and the land of the living overlap, bends outward creating a narrow corridor that leads into an uninhabitable desert.

Happens in the second module for the Nightmares of Futures Past module series (based on the X-Men's Days of Futures Past dark future) for the classic Marvel Super Heroes RPG. A very Nazi-esque organization's leader partners with the Sentinels to lure mutants in with a scam that they'll be transported to a safe location out of the US, only for the trains to be Disintegrator Boxes that once at an out of the way location power up and kill all the mutants inside eliminating all but a few scattered bits. It's up to the PC group to discover the truth and put an end to the horrific trap.

In chapter 128 of The Hero Laughs While Walking the Path of Vengeance a Second Time, it's revealed that the cover story Millanis's home village spins about where she and her mother went is that they were shipped off to another village to "atone for the sin of deceiving the townsfolk" (wink, wink, nudge, nudge). Only Kirel, Millanis's Childhood Friend, for whom Lucia, her other Childhood Friend, would happily Murder the Hypotenuse, believes it.

In Ender's Game, after Ender's climactic fight with Bonzo Madrid, Bonzo's official records state that he has been "reassigned" to his hometown of Cartagena, Spain. The students assume that this is a euphemism for Bonzo having been thrown out of Battle School due to assaulting Ender. In fact, it is literally true: Bonzo did return to Spain. In a box. Ender had accidentally killed him without realizing it.

The Outer Worlds has the Early Retirement Program. Citizens of the Halcyon system who are too old to work are randomly selected by a lottery to live the rest of their lives in a fantastically luxurious district in the capital city of Byzantium. Unfortunately for them, Halcyon is a barely functioning dystopia run by incompetent, amoral bureaucrats and MegaCorps that is teetering on the verge of a mass famine, so they're actually being herded into the city's maintenance tunnels to be massacred by robots. The player can trick an obnoxious, Entitled Bastard Byzantine into getting herself killed by telling her that the program it's everything it's cracked up to be after she asks them to investigate.

Babe features a variation on this in the opening, where the pigs in the industrial pen tell themselves that all the pigs that are taken away are sent to Pig Paradise, "a place so wonderful that no pig had ever thought to come back." Babe never learns their real fate, though he's the only one out of the whole group who's sad about his mom leaving like this. However, when the cat tells him that pigs are put on this planet to only be eaten by humans, he gets the idea that, yes, his mother and siblings might possibly be served with eggs at this point.

Cloud Atlas: The Fabricants believe Xultation means liberation, and look forward to it. But as Sonmi-451 finds out in the Darkest Hour segment of the film, they are killed the moment they believe they'll be allowed to retire, and even worse, they are then recycled into cheap protein for other Fabricants - in other words, poor Sonmi has been eating her "retired" sisters for the entire film.

The pet version is subverted in a Modern Family episode when Jay, Gloria, and Manny are annoyed by their neighbor's dog's constant barking. One day the dog disappears and the owner accuses them of killing him. Jay suspiciously confronts Gloria, who tells him she took the dog to a farm and "He's in a better place." Jay calls these phrases out as euphemisms for killing the dog, but it turns out Gloria's telling the literal truth: she sent the dog to live on her hairdresser's brother's farm.

In Warhammer 40,000, if someone ever says that a certain person never arrived and uses the phrase "the Warp can be quite treacherous at times," you can safely assume that said person really did show up and was murdered upon their arrival.
Though if they don't use said Unusual Euphemism, the Warp probably really did eat them. It's like that.
Imperial Guardsmen suffering from post traumatic stress disorder are sent to a medical facility for recovery. The system where the facility is located is also the largest manufacturer of combat servitors. You do the math.

In All Hail King Julien it is revealed that Julien's parents (and potentially all other family members he may have had besides his uncle) were killed and eaten by fossa, but he was told they went to live on a farm. Apparently not everyone is in on this story, though. This ends up making things simpler to explain to Julien when it's ultimately revealed his parents did actually go away and are still alive, but just never told anyone and thus were assumed killed when they went missing.

Parodied in Blackadder II, where Kate believes that this is why her father keeps telling her that her mother isn't dead, but ran off to Droitwich with her Uncle Henry.

In reality, Zod banished Gil-Ex to the Phantom Zone. Zod goes on to repeat this process with several other opponents to his rule.

In Exo Squad, the Neo-Sapiens regularly round up troublesome humans on Earth to work as slaves on Venus. Some of the protagonists who were stuck on Earth deliberately get themselves captured to catch a trip to Venus, planning to escape afterwards and rendezvous with La Résistance there. Along the way they discuss how having a penal colony isn't a very bright idea during wartime, since it just means you're putting all the people giving you problems together in one place, thus making it easier for them to plot against you than it would be if they were separated. Except it turns out that prisoners "sent to Venus" are actually ejected into the sun, as the genetically engineered Neo-Sapiens (who are considerably bigger and stronger than humans) have no real use for human manual labour. One of the Neo-Sapiens pilots wonders how humans can believe the lie, since he thinks that exiling enemies during wartime rather than just killing them would be really stupid. Our heroes barely escape with their lives.

In Heavy Object the Faith Organization opened a factory that employed the residents of Giant Pizza. The hexavalent chromium used in the factory would eventually make them sick at which point they would disappear. Giant Pizza citizens became convinced the Faith Organization was transporting the sick workers to a dedicated hospital when they were actually being quietly executed and buried in the surrounding desert. The Faith Organization was intrigued as they never actually made any indication this was the case and viewed the belief as a pseudo-religion.

On one episode of QI, the Soviet practice of training dogs to go under tanks with bombs in World War II was raised at one point. A photo of a dog running towards a tank with what appeared to be a bomb strapped to it's back popped up, and at the audience's reaction Phil Jupitus was quick to (jokingly) reassure them that that specific dog was okay, he was on a farm now, and he was very happy.

Dark Times: The Fire Carrier arc features a refugee camp on the frontier planet of Arkinnea. At irregular intervals, the local militia selects a hundred or so refugees to transport to land that's ready for settlement. What really happens is that the militia (who resent sharing their homeworld with outsiders, many of whom fought against them in the Clone Wars) murder those refugees by opening the bomb bay doors of the titular carrier while hovering hundreds of feet in the air. Both the Imperial officer overseeing the camp and the group of Jedi hiding there are horrified to find out what's going on and make sure the militiamen get their just deserts.

Subverted in an episode of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. While a Tachikoma was wandering around the city on it's own, it comes across a little girl named Miki, who claims to be looking for her lost dog, Locky. The two of them decide to look together, spending most of the day with each other. Miki finally tells the Tachikoma that she knows that her parents were trying to soften the blow by saying that her dog ran away, but she knew he had died. She even lead the Tachikoma to the graveyard where Locky was burried. It seems that going out into the city to look for Locky, or at least pretend to be looking for him, was her way of coping with the loss. Being with Tachikoma cheered her up a little, but she says she's not ready for any new pets yet.

In The Handmaid's Tale, the protagonist glimpses a TV news story about the "Children of Ham" (black people) being "resettled" in North Dakota and the "Children of Judah" being repatriated to Israel, making one wonder if it's an example of this trope.

In Opoona it's said that those who complete their lifetime quota are allowed to live in an all expense-paid paradise for the rest of their lives. Unlike most examples, it's actually true. For most people; but the most choice candidates are instead taken as Human Resources for an Artifact of Doom.

Non-lethal variant in Urusei Yatsura. Ryuunosuke goes missing, and her father claims it's because she moved to the west to become a sailor and then got involved with the hunt for a white whale. Ryuunosuke then hops out Bound and Gagged and reveals that her dad had her tied up underneath the floorboards the entire time.

In the false Utopian society of Logan's Run, every resident when they reach the age of 30 must undergo the ritual of Carrousel. There, they are vaporized and ostensibly "Renewed." Most residents accept this promise of rebirth, but some realize it is a brutal population control, and go into hiding to avoid being killed.

Star Trek: Voyager:
In "Remember", B'Elanna gets implanted with the memories of an elderly woman who during her youth, participated in the genocide of a group of "Regressives" who refused to embrace technology, including the man she loved. The explanation given to succeeding generations was that the Regressives were deported to another continent for being too violent and barbaric for their society, only to kill each other or die from disease shortly afterwards.
In "Emanations", Harry Kim takes the place of a man who was scheduled to enter a sarcophagus to enter "the next emanation" so as to appear that he died while the man himself quietly slipped away to the mountains to be cared for by relatives. Since Harry was wrapped in a special burial dressing that made him look like a Bandage Mummy, nobody could tell the difference.

How I Met Your Mother:
The pet version is subverted when after Ted gets upset that Robin has dogs she's acquired from a string of past boyfriends, Robin decides to send them to all live on a farm... where her lesbian aunt and her partner will look after them.
And then there was Robin's childhood dog, who turned into a turtle as a result of an experimental cure against his old age related sickness. (In reality, a variation of the Replacement Goldfish.)

Orkneyinga Saga: When Jarl Paul is betrayed and captured by his own sister Margaret and her husband Jarl Maddad of Atholl with the help of Svein Asleifarson, Paul offers to give up his jarldom and either travel abroad and never come back, or to enter a monastery for life. Svein spreads in Orkney that thus was the state of affairs when he left Paul in Scotland, implying that Margaret and Maddad accepted the deal. Paul's true fate does not become known, but "according to some people" Margaret instead has him blinded and later murdered in prison.

The STN-J in Witch Hunter Robin claims that captured witches (including innocents and children who've never used their powers for evil and are only rounded up because they happen to have powers) are taken to a special holding facility called "The Factory" where they will be no harm to themselves or others. In reality, "The Factory" kills them and boils them down into Anti-Magic soup.

Friends
In one episode the pet version of the trope is played straight. When a conversation turns to dying pets, and how parents will tell their their children it was sent to live on a farm, Ross goes "Funny story, we had a dog and you know our parents actually did send him to a farm..." and everyone looks at him pityingly until it dawns on him...
Phoebe's Grandma song:
In the series finale, it's revealed that this is the case with Chandler and Joey's pet chicken and duck, explaining their disappearance in the last couple of seasons. It turns out everyone gave Joey the "farm" story to keep him from learning the truth, although Rachel nearly blows it.

The Sopranos:
Appears to be played straight with Tony Soprano's childhood pet dog, though it's subverted in that his father actually does send the dog to live with a nice family.
Multiple times, a murder is covered up by saying they've turned government informant and gone into the witness protection program to explain their sudden disappearance. When Big Pussy and Adrianna are killed after Tony finds out they're FBI informants, Tony and the other gangster tell others they went into witness protection. The same is done for Richie, although in this case he wasn't an informant and Tony did it to protect his sister Janice, who killed Richie after he punched her (for saying she'd be fine with Richie's son being gay).

In Torchwood: Miracle Day the plot is that everyone stops dying. They don’t get eternal youth or a Healing Factor - they just stop dying. In light of this, governments and drug companies come up with the Categories of Life. Category 1 are people who should be dead - unconscious or with something completely incurable, like decapitated or crushed to death. They were all sent to Over Flow camps to start a “new age of health care�. Said health care secretly meaning being shut away and burned alive so they wouldn’t take up food or resources.

The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye:
During the war, the commander of the infamous prison camp Grindcore has a captive Skids work on the camp's transporter pads, telling him once they're fixed all those Autobot prisoners will be teleported to a neutral planet. They're not transporter pads. They're smelters. Once they're fixed, Skids gets to watch dozens of prisoners get melted alive.
In an alternate universe ruled by the Functionist Council, the Constructed Cold were said to have been "deported". Except in that reality, Cybertronians don't have anywhere to be deported to, much less any means of transporting them, and the Functionists regard the Constructed Cold as blasphemy. Do the math.

In OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes, Wilhameena excuses the mess in her house by stating that her maid recently "bought the farm," which is an old euphemism for dying. KO takes this to mean that the housekeeper moved to the countryside, and Wilhameena doesn't bother to correct him.
