Possibly.

It IS how large animals, cattle, sheep, pigs, and horses are usually put
down. I have seen cattle put down this way, and the gun was put to
their head, fired, and they instantly dropped, dead. From start to
finish, the whole thing was over in a couple of seconds. So.....?

I know that some livestock are killed this way. I hate the thought of that
too but not so much that I don't eat muscle meat.


But, as i said earlier, I'd heard/read a couple of vets say it was the
most humane, instantaneous, and how they would euthanize their own pets.
That's why I inquired as to whether or not anyone here had had a pet
euthanized that way.

Well it certainly sounds like a method someone who has killed a lot of
animals might be callous enough to use. My point is that I don't see how it
would be more humane than the shots my cat got that made her sleepy and just
gently fade away--and it would be horrible for anyone who loved the animal.
What is most horrible about it is that it is the equivalent of shooting the
animal in the head but *calculated* to be less messy for human convenience.



I'm not advocating this; just mentioning it as another possibility.


Right. I wonder why I feel absolutely certain that you are male? There's no
way I could know that, now is there? Silly me.
