I believe he did, in appendix 4, if you wish to read it. If you
follow the link, you will see his findings in the research he went to
the trouble of producing.

I spent about 45 minutes on this and chose the most authoritative
source among many. I also discovered that drowning animals is against
the law in quite a few jurisdictions, and I ran across a news article
about a couple in Arizona who were arrested earlier this month for
"euthanizing" their cat in this manner...www.ajnews.com

I have one more comment on this. These examples of euthanizing and arrests
and all that stuff. Were these cats severely injured when they were drowned
or were they for the most part healthy cats? That's what we're talking
about, euthanizing a severely injured cat. If someone killed a cat for
another reason, then that has absolutely nothing to do with our discussion.
*When* you find that link, research under what circumstances these cats were
euthanized. *THEN* go and find me examples of someone being convicted for
drowning a severely injured kitty. Until you can do that, you or Charlie or
whoever wants to comment have no rebuttal to what I've been talking about.

I have no quarrel with you @ all. Initially, my response was merely to advise
you that Wendy has been involved with rescue work for many years, & IMHO, you
couldn't possibly criticize her for delaying the quick relief of death to
stop the kitten's suffering, because she would never do that. I know that she
released that kitten from it's misery as soon as we reasonably possible.
Someone who goes to the trouble of caring for abused animals, is hardly
likely to cause further hardship to an already sad case of unreasonable
misery

The debate about whether or not drowning is a quick mercy killing however, is
open to debate. It is not a criticism of your opinion, because everyone is
entitled to have their own opinion, though I wouldn't personally agree with
you. I gave my personal reason's as noted in this thread. My grand father
drowned some kittens on his farm, & I happened to witness it & found it
profoundly distressing, "personally".

I think that Charlie was simply bringing another dimension to the thread by
notifying the group that in some states in the USA, it is actually a crime(
Felony?) to drown a cat or kitten, whatever the circumstances, which I didn't
know until he advised us. I have since researched the same subject out of
personal interest, & I am glad to find that it is also the case in the UK too.


The information that you are asking for, is actually provided for you in the
link Charlie produced in appendix 4; *this is in the case of a mercy killing*,
as you asked for.

I agree with you, this thread has the potential to lead to an area that I
have no wish to become entangled in. It is an emotive subject, so bound to
produce feelings that are extreme. This will be my final post too. Sometimes
it is better to agree to disagree, than it is to shout so that your voice is
heard. That, I feel, is unseemly & unnecessary here.
