"We have a responsibility to imitate the natural food chain of the animals — in terms of both animal welfare and professional integrity," Aalborg Zoo says.
I read in another article that the zoo will “gently euthanize” your pet but I have had a vet come out to my farm and caution me about using any animal euthanized with drugs as feed for anything else due to possible bad reactions or side effects. So what is the definition of “gentle” when talking about non-drug euthanasia?
Even more so and approved by the AVMA in their euthanasia guidelines if done correctly (right bullet, muzzle energy, shot placement and trajectory) and you can do it without any strangers showing up wanting to poke them with needles. Say your goodbyes, put their favorite treat on the ground and when they put their head down to eat it…works like switching off a light. A bit bloody but…it’s a farm
I’d say no as you need the right voltage and it hurts while they are dying… especially if you do it wrong. A well placed bullet is way faster and more humane IMHO

Gas them with nitrogen.
Give ‘em the ol’ Anton Chigurh Special.
Call it, friendo.
eww no you don’t cook meat wtf
Don’t these drugs have short half-life?
Short biological half life. It requires a working liver to detoxify.
I don’t know. I was just told I can’t donate the meat to a food program and I shouldn’t eat it myself.
by food program do you mean it going to other humans? because i’d imagine the problem is just that we have WAY stricter standards for humans
Yes. Charitable food bank.
Electricity?
“It will be humane”
I’d say a gunshot to the head is just as humane as drugging the animal.
