Mary said "thats disgusting".
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.....? 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. I'm not advocating this; just mentioning it as another possibility. |

In article ,
enlightened us with... Mary said "thats disgusting". 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.....? Actually, this sounds a lot more humane than the old cut the throat and let them drip-dry method of slaughtering food animals. As for pets, well, it sounds better (and less messy) than the Old Yeller way of dying, too, but I think I'll stick to letting the vet do it with the usual cocktail. I couldn't kill my own pet, no matter how bad it was suffering. I just couldn't. -- -- ~kaeli~ If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace |

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.

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. |

I have often wondered if it like being in a dream state and feeling suffocated as the heart stops beating. Obviously it doesn't last long. -mhd |

While my cat did not like getting the shots, afterward she really did seem to just fall asleep. |
