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.

Tyler, while I am not trying to claim I will be able to read every source on the use of dry ice, I will do quite a bit of my own research on it, and have already started.

That being said, I will finish my article exactly as I intend to, and I will list all of my sources, which I have already begun to list as I compile more information about using CO2 from canisters AND dry ice.

When complete (and I really have no time line at this point in time), I urge you to follow the trails I have been down; honestly read and ask yourself if you still believe the methods I encourage are still completely unacceptable or incontrovertibly inhumane.

I do feel you will be surprised.
