Best way to pre-kill?

[MrLang]

if you use gas, i would advise against the use of CO2.

its rather quick, but when mammals detect a CO2 increase in the blood stream they react with panic and a feeling of asphyxiation before they die.

i think its more humane to use a gas that prevent such a CO2 buildup.

nitrogen or helium is much slower, but since there is no CO2 buildup they fall asleep peacefully.

optimal would be nitrous oxide / laughing gas. super fast and super painless, it knocks them out within a few seconds and they feel euphoria. you can cheaply buy single-use cartridges that are usually used in whipped cream dispensers. its legal to own as long as you dont use it as a drug.

edit @ tribal: i think its the mass murderer clown from the Rob Zombie movie "house of 1000 corpses"

You have to stop this. There is enough misinformation floating around in this hobby - please stop deliberately contributing to it. Science proves this wrong - we've shown you the studies and the outlines written by organizations who don't huff gas but rather measure brain waves to determine how traumatic death is. Cervical Dislocation and CO2 are the only methods approved as humane. Depending on where you live improperly euthanizing an animal is illegal.

The forum guidelines on BP.net very clearly state that no member can wittingly post information that advises another member to break the law. As such, PLEASE stop making this post. I wish we had a 'science mod' that went through threads and deleted posts that contradict proven science or spread misinformation in the face of fact.




It's Captain Spaulding in the picture. I was him for halloween a few years ago - shaved head, beard, face paint, the whole nine. I was at a party that got busted by the cops and the cop started messing with me in a somewhat friendly way (cops in Boston have to break up Halloween parties when there's a complaint but they're not completely unreasonable about it). I responded with "DON'T YA LIKE CLOWNS? AREN'T WE BLEEPIN FUNNY?" - a quote from the movie. He didn't so much enjoy my back talk and I almost got put in cuffs...
