    Why is everyone so against euthanization? I don't intend to do it with normals but if I did, so long as the animal didn't suffer at all, why is it so bad? I have seen people on this website say that they wouldn't mind ball being raised for food so long as they were cared for properly and slaughtered in a human way. I know that people here have also talked about preserving snakes in clear resin and selling them in addition to other babies. If you still get some use out of the animal once it is eithanized then by all means go for, even it if you're just adding it to compost for your garden in the spring, preserving it in formaldehyde, feeding it to another pet (snake, monitor, dog, etc.) or dissecting it to learn about the internal parts of a BP's anatomy.

    To reiterate the important things to me here - proper husbandry prior to euthanization, humane euthanization and getting a use out of the animals after euthanization as opposed to throwing them in the trash.
