What is the best way to euthanize an animal without having to go to a vet?

[Tinykong]

It does not take anytign special to "humanly" kill an animal. Any one with a gun can dispatch a human death. It is not rocket science.

I DO NOT SUPPORT THE IDEA. Just pointing out that any one can do it humanly.

Have you ever actually killed something (or someone) with a firearm? Unless your some sort of special forces that can get a shot off that severs the brain stem, they suffer. Sometimes for long periods of time. Even shooting something in the head doesn't cause instantaneous death every time.

Well, what you do is, you grap them firmly around their body, leaving their head sticking out of your palm. Now either you hit their heads on a rock, or you grab their heads with your other hand and, with a quick twisting motion, break their neck.
It's not beautiful, but it is what is done.

[Sills]

have you attempted to find a home for them first?

This should really be priority one. They dont need to die. the very least you can do is drop them off at a local animal shelter so they can find a home for them if you dont want to be bothered.

Where in VA are you? I'm 50 minutes southwest of DC. Seriously you're going to kill them? If it means the lives of innocent animals I'll fucking call out of work right now and deal with it myself. Pick up the phone dude.

They don't use injections to euthanize animals in a shelter, they usually gas them in a large box all at once. Terrible business, hasn't been said enough: spay and neuter your pets!

We've been trying to ban that for years here in PA. It never gets out of the Agriculture and Rural Affais committee.

In our country you can come to any vet clinic and just give an animal away.
I did a couple of times. I would give some 20 bucks for them to keep and feed the animal for the night, they do the rest.

You can always call your local information hotline and they can give numbers and addresses of places which accept animals.

Other than that this thread is very strange and smells of trolls

Yes, I have put down 3 dogs, 2 cats and innumerable small animals caught in traps that eat my garden. It is NOT HARD. You do not need to sever the brain stem. The small head size of these animals means that the sheer shock of the round hitting the tissue virtually destroys the brain.

Not to mention all the animals I have put down hunting.

It is not a practice I advocate. The Cats and Dogs I have put down were pets, Pets who I would not have put down by any hands other than mine.

Doubt he'll respond to this, just a trollthread imo.

Yes, I have put down blah blah blah

So basically you're saying you have experience, so everyone obviously has too?

[Zefini]

please take this person up on this offer if you aren't going to take them to a shelter yourself. Tovarish24 that is.

People poke fun at me for doing it but I made a bunny garden behind my garage. I found that they will go there and not bother getting over the little decoritive fence around the real garden. It may help your issue.

Ever watch Old Yeller?

I was directly asked, and I responded. I also stated it was a practice I do not advocate. Only pointed out that it is not a hard task to complete.

[caninepawprints]

You didn't mention anything about the condition of the kittens, but I know most cats won't eat meat loaf even when they're healthy. It's not good for them even if the cat is willing to eat it.

I recommend calling a local animal shelter or veterinary office and asking them for advice.

we don't live in the 1800's anymore

This thread is just begging for trolls, and on a personal note, it's really sad that the OP would even ask such a question.
