And don't feel bad about it because it is not specifically written as being inhumane. Is it written that sticking pins and needles in the eyes of the mice is inhumane? NO!!!

Just because a method is not written as being inhumane, doesn't make it humane!!!

Why don't you just tell the readers of your website to use appropriate equipment (CO2 canisters) and use a method considered acceptable by the AVMA? I guess this is just an inconvenient truth.

Hi John/Tyler,

I think I also stated why I feel it necessary to point people to the use of dry ice. I reach an international audience, and not everyone has the means to buy canisters of CO2. Also, because other methods I believe are inhumane or have a high margin of error that I can not in good conscience recommend.

I see this is really getting no where with you, I've decided you simply cannot grasp the concepts I am writing and laying out for you.

Good day

And if you ever feel compelled to answer these questions, here they are one more time:
I again suggest you slow down and read everything I have posted here. I think it is satisfactorily answered your repeated questions, yet you have not attempted to answer mine.

1. Where does the text say it is not humane? Have they listed reasons why?

2. Can you find concrete proof that the dry ice sublimation creates too little CO2 to fall within the guidelines of the AVMA article, or that the use of prefilling a container with CO2 from dry ice is also not within the guidelines?

3. Where in the text have they left any other forms of inhumane euthanasia without the text explicitly saying it is inhumane?
