Now this was exactly our point...
Some rodent suppliers gas.. some smaller ones dont kill in such the friendly way.. I have heard of some throwing them in freezers as well. I am not really sure how the bigger ones do it. But even a large gas chamber its going to take longer to die than the typical constricting snake
