You know I really love you, don't you Tropey? We've had some real good adventures together, but...
Well, Poppa says times is gettin' tough, Tropey. Real tough. The Government is comin' after you, and... well, I gotta let you go back to the forest where you came from.
Don't look at me like that, Tropey! You know what'll happen if we keep you! Go on, get out of here! It's for your own good, damn it! Shoo! I gotta leave you behind, and there ain't two ways about it! Go!
... Goodbye, Tropey. I'll miss you. *sniffle*
When a character or animal is sent away, it's this trope. Subtrope of Shoot the Dog and sometimes Unsuccessful Pet Adoption and Not Used to Freedom. Compare to Break His Heart to Save Him, But Now I Must Go, It's Not You, It's My Enemies, Line in the Sand, Shoo Out the Clowns. (Get out of the plot while you can, Tropey, Anyone Can Die now!)
Some specific reasons for sending an animal/friend away, drawn from the examples below:
To send an animal back to live in the wild where it belongs.
To put someone in a better situation for them.
To get them out of a dangerous situation.
To keep them from following you into a dangerous situation.
The animal itself is dangerous, such as an exotic animal, beast god, space alien, etc.
Don't be surprised if, despite your best effort to spare them, they decide that You Are Worth Hell.

Kratos finally reunites with his long dead daughter in God of War: Chains of Olympus but realizes that staying with her will destroy the world and eventually her along with it. What follows is a long and painful series of button-mashing mini games to shove the crying little girl away as she desperately clings to her father.

In Kanon, Yuuichi remembers caring for (and becoming quite attached to) a fox that had broken its leg, but once healed he has to take it back in the wild because he has to leave town. Needless to say, both parties are quite distraught. The fox finds Yuuichi upon his return as the human girl, Makoto. Her feeling of loss at their parting is why she is so beset by irrational anger at him.

Dragon Quest VII has this potentially occur in Loomin with Sieble and his pet larval Hellworm, Chibi. The rest of the town is getting antsy about his exotic taste in pets, particularly since they've already had some nasty luck recently; if you warn him about this, he tries to release Chibi into the wild and shoo him away. Alternately, you can sneak into his house and kill Chibi for the villagers, but why would you do that? Seriously. Unless you want the villagers to suffer karmic backlash and Sieble end up as the Sole Survivor...

In Wolfwalkers, Robyn attempts to free her hunting falcon Merlyn into the wild when she feels unable to help Mebh reunite with her mother, urging Merlyn to tell Mebh to leave the forest with the wolf pack and go with her to somewhere safer before the woods are burned down. Merlyn's expression makes clear that he doesn't want to leave Robyn, and he later leads Mebh into town to confront Robyn instead.

Twisted in the Richard Corben story "Bowser" (Vampirella #54, Sept. 1976). Little Timmy shoos Bowser away when his parents fear he's going to have to be put down because Bowser is an Eldritch Abomination and just ate a couple people. Turns out Bowser was extra hungry because he-- she?-- it was getting ready to have a litter of "puppies"! You can read this disgusting yet strangely heartwarming story here.

Olivier Mira Armstrong does this to her family in the manga and Brotherhood anime of Fullmetal Alchemist. She travels from Fort Briggs, in the frigid north, to the family mansion in Central City and demands that her father retire and name her head of the family. She further bullies him into taking his wife and younger daughters on an extended visit to the distant country of Xing. As Olivier's brother Alex later realizes, she knows that terrible things are about to happen in their home country of Amestris, and wants her family as far away from it as possible.
Edward Elric attempts to do the same thing with his Love Interest Winry, telling her to take her grandmother and their dog and get out of the country. In this case, however, it doesn't work; Winry is every bit as stubborn as Ed, and will not budge.

The good ending to Rule of Rose can be seen as this in a metaphorical sense. Over the course of the game, it's revealed the player's best friend is in fact the Big Bad, having arranged the deaths of every other character because she felt abandoned because the player was spending more time with her pet dog than with her. The epilogue is a flashback/dream sequence where the player is sent back before the whole thing began and chains the dog inside a shed to metaphorically protect him, along with her other precious memories.

Upon visiting the prison, Friend, Ghostbur's pet sheep, was kept in the Nether entrance hall of the prison, with Ghostbur promising he would be back for him. When Tommy was forced out of the prison after his attempt to kill Dream failed, with Ghostbur "dying" in the process of reviving Wilbur, he comes across Friend again in the entrance hall. Cue the waterworks.

Xena: Warrior Princess:
Subverted on an episode; when times are getting serious, she rather viciously shoos off Joxer, the useless tag-along. He thinks it's a joke at first until she gets violent to punctuate her point, claiming that he would just slow them down. We as the audience might likely assume she's performing this trope to protect him from the coming confrontation, but actually she's trying to convince someone else that she's getting rid of him for real, so he can carry out a mission for her without being suspected.
Played straight in a different episode, where Xena must defend a deathly ill Gabrielle from invaders inside a ramshackle fortification. As part of her preparations for the defense, she orders her horse Argo to run away so she'll be safe, yelling at her to "get out of here!". (They reunite later, once the danger has passed.)

In Azumanga Daioh, Sakaki takes a trip to Okinawa and bonds with a young Iriomote cat, a reclusive and highly-endangered species native to Iriomote Island. While this brings her great joy, since up to this point cats have seen her as their enemy, she's forced to part ways with him once her trip is over, since she can't have cats at her house (especially not an endangered, wild one). The Iriomote cat ends up following Sakaki back home, where he saves her from a gang of alley cats, and she decides to secretly keep him.

Done in Fallout 3, when telling Dogmeat to leave your party.
Made even more heartwrenching near the end of the game should you choose to activate the purifier yourself. Before you enter and seal your final fate, if he is with you, you can tell him goodbye one last time before entering the room. The whimper that Dogmeat does when you tell him this only makes you feel worse.

Brock Samson of The Venture Brothers tries to do this to the Venture family in the season 3 finale to get rid of them. Hank sees through it.
On the other hand, Brock watches Hank and Dean die on a regular basis, and is he prepared to kill Dr. Venture. This might actually be an inversion of this trope because Brock legitimately doesn't care.
Note that while he is prepared to kill Dr. Venture, he's noticeably relieved when he doesn't have to, and tries to get them to safety soon afterward despite the termination of his mission. Although his nonchalance about Hank and Dean's repeated deaths because of the existence of their clones is misleading, it's quite clear that he does care about the Venture family.

In Avatar: The Last Airbender, the Kyoshi Warriors find Appa injured in the woods after he's separated from Aang and nurse him back to health... and then Azula finds them, forcing Suki to shoo away Appa with a torch.
Avatar Roku also tried to shoo his dragon Fang away from an erupting volcano, but the dragon instead curled up around his beloved master and died with him.

In The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole, Adrian plans to take the dog with him when he runs away from home, perhaps because he fears his parents would neglect the dog. When he has packed all the dog's things, he cannot carry his suitcase, so he decides to leave the dog behind. But when the dog cries and his parents shout at it to be quiet, Adrian decides to take the dog after all.

In Devil Survivor: Overclocked, at the beginning of Naoya's 8th day, you have a choice about whether to kill opposing demon tamers or not.

Sam does this to Bill the pony in The Lord of the Rings when the Fellowship has to go through the Mines of Moria. Subverted, though - at least in the books - as before this actually happens the Watcher in the Water attacks, and Bill promptly flees rather than needing to be sent away. Also, he finds his way back to Bree, where they pick him up on their way back to the Shire, and proves to still be the most awesome pony in Middle-earth. And that's saying something.

A mild example in A Dog's Purpose: When Ethan leaves for college, he tells his mom to hold his dog Bailey because he'll think he can go for a ride in the car and won't understand why he can't. The dog breaks away, tears through a field and catches up to Ethan, jumping in through the open car window. Ethan stops and throws a football for Bailey to fetch, and when the dog brings it back to the road, the car is too far away for him to follow.

In one of the special chapters for Wonderland, after seeing the servant girl, Lucy, endure at least two years of abuse from his mother, Gray, along with her imprisoned brother, plan to help her escape after one of the beatings left her bleeding. Their plans gets thrown out the window when Gray sees that his mother is so angry that she will likely kill Lucy in a fit of rage. He quickly finds the girl and pulls her to the entrance and tells her to run. She hugs him thanking him for his kindness before hightailing it out of there.

The Monster Garden: When Monnie first comes to life, it can live comfortably on dry land, but as it grows it starts to shed its gelatinous coating, revealing skin that quickly dehydrates if it doesn't get to swim regularly. Frankie knows it can't live in her garden much longer. She runs away with it to Mendicote Woods, planning to set it up in the summer cottage near the creek and teach it how to fish. But just outside the forest, some boys start throwing rocks at Monnie, and by the time Frankie chases them away, Monnie has run off. Frankie runs into the woods and finds signs that Monnie has been near the mouth of the stream. She swims into the sea to look for it, but accidentally goes too far from shore, loses strength, and passes out. Monnie carries her back to shore before swimming away forever.

The Jungle Book (1967) has Mowgli's adoptive wolf family and Bagheera deciding during a council meeting to send Mowgli to live in a nearby man village for his own safety after learning that Shere Khan has returned to his..and their...hunting grounds. Closer to the climax, Baloo also agrees with Bagheera that it's too dangerous for Mowgli to remain with him in the jungle. Of course, Mowgli sees this as a betrayal and runs off instead, which nearly gets him eaten/killed by first Kaa, and later by Shere Khan himself.

He arranges with Bail Organa to have an Alderaanian university accept Annileen's long-dormant application to their xenobiology satellite program on Naboo. This inverts Ben's character role of The Drifter; because he has to stay to look after Luke Skywalker, he can't simply say But Now I Must Go.

One Piece:
Ace attempts to do this for Luffy as Luffy plunges headfirst into the battle at Marineford and is attacked on all sides by the Seven Warlords of the Sea and Marine officers in an attempt to rescue Ace from his execution. Ace shouts for Luffy to go away, stating that they have their own crews and Luffy is under no obligation to rescue him. He even states that it would be "humiliating" to be saved by a "weakling" like Luffy, all the while silently begging for Luffy not to involve himself in Ace's mistake. Luffy of course just ignores this and shouts that he's Ace's little brother and promises to save Ace even if it killed him. Awww!
Done even earlier with Nami and Robin, who, despite having become attached to Luffy and the rest of the crew in spite of being inclined to view their association with him as a temporary alliance, don't think he is willing or able to overcome their problems. Nami in particular does this by stealing the ship and pretending to kill Usopp to save his life from Arlong, which actually temporarily succeeds in convincing Zoro into thinking that Nami is truly evil (but by the time Robin is thought to have betrayed the Straw Hats, he remains open to either possibility being true).
Chopper gets this from Hiruluk in his backstory after he recovers from his injuries, as Hiruluk is Secretly Dying from an uncurable disease, and to avoid having Chopper see him die, he kicks him out of his house and even shoots at him when he tries to return. After learning this, Chopper sets off to find a cure, only to end up accidentally fatally poisoning Hiruluk, who goes off into a trap and chooses to die on his own terms.
Sanji has a Break His Heart to Save Him act with the Straw Hats in the Whole Cake Island arc, which works with Nami (hypocritical as it is) but doesn't do anything against Luffy. A bit justified, since staying by his side would invoke the wrath of one of the Four Emperors. Luffy disagrees.

Preposterously common throughout the Pokémon franchise, even besides the video games. This is mainly because there is no reason to release a Pokémon in the game unless you bottlenecked on your limit and really have no more use for them. Most people who release Pokémon are releasing either early-route com mons obtained from the Wonder Trade (Zigzagoon was a notorious example) or the ones that they bred (at level 5 or 1 depending upon which generation you are breeding) and waiting for the one that they really want. In the Pokémon world, it would be like throwing helpless Pokémon out onto the street and/or to be killed by other wild Pokémon. However, given that you can breed for moves, it can take care of itself.

Code Geass: Lelouch does this a couple of times to Kallen in R2. In the first instance, he pretends that he was merely using Kallen as a pawn to drive her away, when in reality he was trying to save her from being killed by the rebelling Black Knights. He betrays his intentions with a soft, barely audible, "Live on, Kallen." In the second instance, when Kallen confronts the newly-crowned Emperor Lelouch about his parting sentence and kisses him, he feigns a lack of emotion to again drive her away and make sure that when he dies as part of his planned Zero Requiem, Kallen will not die with him.

In Final Fantasy XIII, Sazh keeps a chocobo chick in his afro. He bought it as a present for his son, Dajh, but was never able to give it to him. When the party comes across a group of chocobos on Gran Pulse, including more baby chocobos, he suggests to the chocobo "Maybe it'd be best if we just say goodbye here." The chick, however, won't have any of it and returns straight to Sazh. Something similar happens with Chobi in Final Fantasy: Unlimited.

Bicentennial Man: When Andrew asks for freedom, Sir banishes him from the house, giving him total independence rather than pseudo-freedom. The trope is played super-straight, as Sir looks like he's cutting off his own arm having Andrew leave for good. When he's dying, he apologizes for sending Andrew away.

Parodied in the Saturday Night Live sketch "Tiny Horse", where a young man (Timothée Chalamet) whose parents' farm is having financial trouble is forced to let go of his tiny horse. In the musical number, he imagines the tiny horse going off to university and graduating valedictorian, getting a job in the Cabinet, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, marrying Cong. Ocasio-Cortez, and appearing on Jimmy Fallon. All while the horse runs out of the stable very very slowly (because he is tiny). In the end his father says he can keep the horse, but the young man decides to let him go free anyway.

Young Sheldon: In "A Math Emergency", Mary goes to visit Mr. Gilford, a shut-in hermit. Mary brings him dinner (which is all he expected from her), and then she tries to socialize with him. Gilford refuses, coldly stating, "I'm old, I'm alone, I'm gonna die soon." He is blatantly rude and even misogynistic to Mary, and they argue with each other because of this. The next morning, Mary does return hoping things will go better this time, only to find that he passed away. Mary laments his death, and presumably arranged a funeral for him.

Game of Thrones:
In season 4, Tyrion has to shoo both Shae (his mistress) and Podrick (his squire) after his father and Cersei find out about Shae, and after Pod refuses to falsely testify in court that Tyrion murdered Joffrey, even turning down a knighthood, as Cersei is bound to take her revenge. Pod leaves after a simple dismissal, but Shae refuses to believe Tyrion's warnings since he's repeated them many times before, so Tyrion has to lie and claim he doesn't love Shae anymore.
After Nymeria bites Joffrey, Arya shoos her away to protect her from the Lannisters.

In The Jungle Book (2016), after learning from Bagheera that Shere Khan is hunting Mowgli, Baloo tries to make Mowgli go to the man village by telling him that they were never friends, that he was just using him to get extra food for the winter. Mowgli storms off as a result, and Baloo tells Bagheera that this was the hardest thing he had ever done.

Parodied in the mockumentary The Independent, during a scene from the fake movie Whale of A Cop. The in-universe story goes that the movie was scripted as a Free Willy rip-off, but the producers wanted the whale to be changed to a cop, so we see a scene from the movie where a kid has to let the title character (played by Ben Stiller) go "to be with the other cops". The cop is acting like a whale for much of the scene, then stands up and begins exhibiting human behavior...up until the point where he spits water like Flipper.

Final Destination 4: People are dying in the same order they did in Nick's premonition, and about two thirds of the way through the movie, Nick's girlfriend Lori's turn is coming up. She urges Nick to go far away from her so that he'll have a chance of surviving longer. He refuses and they both make it to the final scene, although that doesn't mean much in a series known for Bolivian Army Endings or flat out Downer Endings.

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog: After freezing Captain Hammer with his Death Ray, Dr. Horrible expresses relief that Penny isn't there to see him commit this act of villainy, and possibly because he doesn't want her to get hurt. Unfortunately, he'd accidentally outed himself as Billy in the process, which has tragic consequences: Hammer, whose paralysis has worn off due to Horrible's failure to finish him, destroys the ray, which explodes and results in the death of Horrible's Love Interest and Morality Chain.

The Boss does this to Naked Snake for all of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (complete with him trying to follow her like a lost puppy). She breaks his arm, stomps on his foot with her horse, shoots him in the leg... she even chucks him off a bridge. However, this is all because if she didn't do these things, he would have surely been killed by Volgin; compared to that, he actually has a chance to survive the other things she does. This is only made worse when the player and Snake find out that she was the good guy all along and presumably wanted to protect you from being hurt/test you by hurting you.

Tiny Toon Adventures: In "Rock 'n Roar", Buster loses his soccer ball in a cave and picks up what looks like it, only to discover that it's an egg that hatches into a dinosaur. He tries keeping him as a pet, naming him "Rover" and raising him to be a vegetarian, but Rover's massive size makes a mess of Acme Acres and Montana Max tries to trap him. Near the end of the episode, Buster returns to the cave where he found Rover's egg. When Rover roars, he opens a door leading to a prehistoric paradise where his brothers and sisters live. Wanting to protect Rover from Monty, Buster tells Rover that's where he belongs. Rover wants to stay with Buster, but Buster tells him that if he does, Monty will hunt him for the rest of his life, leading the two to have a tearful good-bye.

Doctor Who: The Doctor is very fond of using this trope.
"The Parting of the Ways": The Doctor tricks Rose into getting into the TARDIS, which takes her back to her own time and away from the Dalek armada.
"The Vampires of Venice": The Doctor yells at Amy to make her go back to the TARDIS where she will be safe during the episode's climax.
"The Doctor's Wife": The Doctor lies to Amy and Rory to send them back to the TARDIS, then locks the doors remotely. This is either to keep them safe or to keep them from interfering (or both).
"The Time of the Doctor": The Doctor does this to Clara twice to get her away from the Siege, and later Battle, of Trenzalore. The first time it doesn't work because Clara accidentally does an Outside Ride of the TARDIS, arriving 300 years after she left.
"Listen": The Doctor orders Clara to go into the TARDIS, again to keep her safe, as he waits for possible monsters at the end of the universe.

This sort of shameless emotional manipulation is spoofed HARD in the South Park episode "Helen Keller: The Musical". Timmy adopts a turkey named Gobbles near Thanksgiving, then is forced to chase him out of town so that he won't be taken away by animal control. The scene then pans to a father and son crying over their dead mother and wife, an old man being comforted by his son over his wasted life, a young girl crying over a dead dog, and a couple struggling with infidelity crying over their shattered marriage. The scene ends with a woman asking the audience, "Have you done the right things in your life?"

Dragon Quest:
Dragon Quest V: After killing your father and kidnapping both you and Prince Harry, Ladja lets your pet Sabercat loose to get rid of it.
Dragon Quest VII has this potentially occur in Loomin with Sieble and his pet larval Hellworm, Chibi. The rest of the town is getting antsy about his exotic taste in pets, particularly since they've already had some nasty luck recently; if you warn him about this, he tries to release Chibi into the wild and shoo him away. Alternately, you can sneak into his house and kill Chibi for the villagers, but why would you do that? Seriously. Unless you want the villagers to suffer karmic backlash and Sieble end up as the Sole Survivor...

In Honored Enemy from The Riftwar Cycle, the elf Tinuva must go and duel his brother to put an end to a centuries-long vendetta and buy time for his human allies to escape. His friend Gregory refuses to leave him, even when Tinuva points out that there is no possible way he could help and that he would only be killed out of hand. Tinuva goes as far as slashing his hand to keep him from using his bow and threatening to cut his other hand so badly that he'll never draw a bow again - and only then does Gregory accept that there's no way he'll be able to accompany Tinuva.

In Final Fantasy XIII, Sazh keeps a chocobo chick in his afro. He bought it as a present for his son, Dajh, but was never able to give it to him. When the party comes across a group of chocobos on Gran Pulse, including more baby chocobos, he suggests to the chocobo "Maybe it'd be best if we just say goodbye here." The chick, however, won't have any of it and returns straight to Sazh. Something similar happens with Chobi in Final Fantasy: Unlimited.

In The Killing, Nikki befriends the black parking lot attendant a little too well, causing the attendant to keep showing up to chat when Nikki is getting ready to take his shot. Nikki eventually has to call him a nigger to get rid of him.

In The LEGO Batman Movie, in a misguided attempt to protect his new family, Batman locks them in the Scuttler and tells the Batcomputer to take them to a taco stand on the border of Gotham and Bludhaven until the Joker's attack on Gotham is over. When they protest about it, Batman has to shoo the Scuttler away like a dog.

In Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, you can save the life of a girl in the clinic who becomes basically your petnote She's a ghoul, someone who's addicted to drinking vampire blood and forms a close bond with the one who provides it. Near the end you have the option of sending her away, because things are becoming too dangerous. If you don't, she'll be kidnapped and killed.

Richard and Kahlan from The Sword of Truth series when Kahlan tells him she doesn't love him in order to save his life by forcing him to leave with a priestess of the light, Verna. Later on, Richard breaks out of his depression when he does the same thing to his pet Gratch and realizes Kahlan was doing the whole thing for Richard's sake.

How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World ends on a note similar to the book; Hiccup realizes that as long as there are dragon hunters like the remains of Drago's empire, dragons will always be in danger. So he has Toothless take all of the dragons away from Berk to the Hidden World so they'll be safe, and wait for the day when humans and dragons can coexist together in peace. However, an epilogue shows that they can visit each other occasionally...
