Perhaps I'm a hypocrite because I have fed live (when I first started keeping), and I didn't have the materials to euthanize Duma's last meal.
Didn't have the materials? The edge of any table works fine. Equate it to a giant as tall as a sky scraper picking you up and banging you on the edge of a skyscraper. You're gonna die quick, like instantly.

Why don people think you need a Co2 chamber, or pithing kit to kill a rodent humanely? Because it seems more barbaric slamming them into the edge of a table? Or hitting them in the head with a hard screwdriver handle? It's not any les humane trust me.
