I have seen two such questions posted here in the last week! The argument is that killing the animal by drowning - a frightening, slow and painful death! - is better than having a vet "KILL" the animal. Is this some horrible fad based on some anti-chemical religious practice? What can be done to get through to these people that drowning is one of the most INhumane ways to to put an animal to death... a bullet in the brain would be more humane than that!

It's really sad to see that. Having the vet " kill" the animal is alot better than drowning the animal themselves. That also makes a person look a lot lower than a vet. I think the people are sick in the head.

That post about the lady drowning her pet literally made my hair stand on end... not to mention it almost brought a tear to my eye. That's absolutely insane. It's shocking and nauseating all at the same time. Can you imagine seeing someone doing that to the poor animal? And she was going on about how it's the "COMPASSIONATE" thing to do. Ridiculous. It's also illegal, too, isn't it? Don't they have laws against cruel treatment of animals?
Then again, maybe that poster was kidding... I really hope so, but I can't be sure.

I have learned in a short period of time that the majority of people on Yahoo answers are INSANE. They're just plain crazy and there is no rationalizing with them. Most of them lie and make up things to provoke and anger people, so I don't think anyone actually thinks that drowning is more humane than euthanasia...do they? I mean, how stupid do you have to be to think that? I can't imagine drowning a cat...anybody who does that with other options open to them ought to be drowned themselves in my opinion.

Some wise guy once said:"The TRUE condition of humanity can be seen on how we treat our animals."
As long as humans believe they have the right to kill whatever, we are still quite far away from who we really are ment to be.
One of the big learning tasks of our time is to transform egoism into being aware that we are all globaly connected. Causing suffering, just means that it gets back to us somehow...

in all reality, there are far more worse ways to go than drowning.
freezing to death.
burning alive...then dying.
intraveniously swapping out your blood for carbolic acid.
talking to a democrat.
drowning in alcohol.
being sawed in half, slowly.
being boiled alive.
getting shot in the stomach.
getting neutered, then bleeding to death from the wound.
getting neutered...period.
going down a slip-n-slide lined with rusty nails.
being fed into a meat-grinder.
being visciously raped to death.
all in all, drowning isn't that bad. so chill out.

Sad to say, sometimes it's the only option avaliable. My dad had to drown a small kitten that was suffering from internal bleeding and broken ribs because we couldn't afford to have him euthanized. It happened a lot, but that was the only one we drowned. The other ones (ones that got stepped on by a horse and were still alive, one got crushed by a hay bale and was still alive, etc.) we ended up shooting. It's sad, but when you can't spare the money to euthanize, it's better than letting them suffer.

I think it's just cheaper.
We had a cat that got caught under the engine of the car and was sliced open.. my dad took it to the vet to be euthanized.. and they wanted $70 to put it to sleep. being poor.. we couldn't pay it.. so when had to bring the cat home.
My dad didn't want it to suffer so he had to shoot it himself.
Lots of people don't have guns.. so what else can they do?.. beat it with a rock?
