[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 555662, member: 4362"] Chrisy, I'm not wanting to disagree with you or debate this cause I don't want the thread to go the wrong way. All I'm trying to say is that on the surface, a pin prick might seem seem to be more humane this is not always the case. There are exceptions - as with anything. The most common exception I have withnessed is with cats but it is not limited only to them and I believe this same argument is used by people who oppose lethal injection in humans. The worst case I ever saw was with a cat we put to sleep. We gave it the correct dosage and the people wanted us to bury the body rather than themselves. So we put the body in a holding room until I had time to carry it to my pet cemetary. A while later the cat was crying. Brought it back in and injected it again with another dose. Cat went out like a light. 15 or 20 minutes later the cat is still breathing - comotose maybe - but breathing. Again, inject it with enough medicine to kill a horse. It still clung to life. Dad then changed methods and injected it with something else that was not labelled for this - I could tell he did not like it nor did I. It finally died after about three hours of trying. Don't know why it held on like it did but it did. In this instance I think a 22 to the brain would have been more humane and would have been over and done with in a split second rather than seconds or hours. I agree the mental picture is not as pretty but the mental picture I have in my mind of this cat hanging on is much worse to me anyway. I've never seen a cow suffer from a well placed bullet. They just drop. Edit: Chrissy, I just re-read the post you responded to and shudder to think what your first impression was when reading it. I wasn't singling out cats for personal reasons as it might have sounded. Hope this post gives you a better understanding of what I based my opinion on. [/QUOTE]
