In this country it is legal to suck a baby out of its mother’s womb with with a wet/dry vac and we also euthanize thousands upon thousands of domestic animals per day.
In all of that, I am not sure which is the best way to euthanize a kitten, but freezers, throat slits, needles or gas all has the same results.
For us, the best answer is controlling the pet populations and there is where we are at fault.
“I am not sure which is the best way to euthanize a kitten”
Veterinarians euthanise animals humanely all the time without resorting to knives, guns, freezers, or plastic bags. It’s really not rocket science. Pet shelters or “humane societies” should be using humane procedures. We can’t control all of the animals in the world but when we assume responsibility for thier care (or thier deaths), there are certainly humane procedures and have been for many years.
I’m not sure what the jog into the abortion mess is meant to imply. This thread isn’t about that subject.
Get a pet and have it neutered. Destroying things through our decadence is wrong. We as owners have responsibilities. If you can’t take care of the pet don’t get one. How to put an animal down is hard to deal with but remember how do U want to go down. Dead is dead. I hope I sit down and just fall asleep. That doesn’t happen often.
We kill animals by the minute to put pretty cuts of meat on display in grocery stores. We love our breakfasts, lunches, and dinners when they have this non-plant protein. We never cry for the animals we slaughtered for our fun, but we cry over a kitten or a dog and think the killer should be in jail.
We kill mice and call them rodents. We hit a squirrel and wince, but drive on to work. We don’t think we committed an inhumane thing to either animal.
The people on this thread saying bad things about the shelter people gladly turn a blind eye to their daily animal abuses.
I’m not sure how to best kill strays, but freezing doesn’t seem any better than running over them with a car.
God gave us dominion over animals. We are caretakers of them. Apparently, some of us think some animals are more equal than others.
