Connie,

I want you to know that I have been a lurker on this website oftentimes, however I have posted quite infrequently. And most of my posts are on this thread because of my principled beliefs in humane euthanasia.

We have both said, I believe, everything that could possibly be said regarding this subject. We are at an impasse though we both agree on the following:

1. Though not written in the AVMA Guidelines as humane, but written as an acceptable form of euthanasia.....I and many others will continue to use a canister to administer CO2.

2. Though not written in the AVMA Guidelines as inhumane, but written as an unacceptable form of euthanasia.....many others will use dry ice to administer CO2.

I personally would rather use the acceptable form of euthansia over the unacceptable form of euthanasia.
