[QUOTE="honeyend, post: 5978684, member: 23108"] I have seen animals euthanized by injection and the sicker they are the longer it takes, which is ironic, it's due to the circulation shutting down. A fit horse dropped like a stone as if it had been shot. I like the hunt, they do a lot and its shot and away in 20mins. The local fallen stock company no longer shoots them, so I have to get someone from further away and its done on his round. I would never have the confidence to use a gun, and a lot of the young vets wouldn't either, its seems to have been risk assed out of their training. I have student vets coming just before they take their final exams and it amazes me how little stock handling experience they have had, with little understanding of how an animal behaves and not allowed to do hands on work apart from listen to the chest and take the odd temperature. I know of someone who reckons the police call him out to shoot them when they are a danger to traffic. I don't think he gets that close. My method is if it looks 'shutdown' and not eating, its gone, no matter what the vet says. There is so much gut that once that stops the longer it goes, it one of the first places to shut down when something is sick, on the more chance of it getting secondary complications, with possibly a huge vet bill.
