Re: New study - maybe CO2 isn't so humane after all..?
To be honest, I don't think they see the CO2 can and go I KNOW WHAT THAT IS, IT'S GOING TO KILL ME.
It seems more that they're talking about the human brain in that article.
It is like sitting in a closed garage with your car on and the windows down. People have attempted suicide that way and survived after passing out. They said it was nothing more than like falling asleep.
I don't think falling asleep would cause fear in the mice. IMO.
If I saw my mice and rats panicking as they died from the CO2 I'd be a little more concerned. I see them act completely normal and lay down and fall asleep to never wake up. Most humane method if it's done right in my book.

perhaps if they are gassed at a slow rate, but thats not the case with putting feeders down. pretty much at the levels they would get it happens that fast now if its say a few hundred ppm for a prolonged or marginal deadly levels i would say it causes confusion and disorientation as thats what has been displayed in actual cases where humans died from it.

Reaching down towards my mice, looking at my mice, or walking near my mice instills plenty of fear and panic
