[edit] Comment
Should this article link to slaughter? That seems kind of unrelated and suggestive to me. Was the author trying to imply something? 24.22.185.207 04:47, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] rate
The article is clearly a stub. It doesn't even have any references or citations. --((F3rn4nd0 ))(BLA BLA BLA) 21:11, 29 January 2007 (UTC) I agree, references are definitely needed. For example: "Euthanasia is typically performed in a veterinary clinic or hospital, or in an animal shelter, and is usually carried out by a veterinarian, or a veterinary technician working under the vet's supervision." I'd like to see a citing reference for this. In plenty of animal shelter that I've worked at all you need is a couple of hours of training and you're qualified to perform euthanasia.

- In the US, laws concerning the possession/use of controlled substances such as euthanasia solutions dictate who is authorized to euthanize animals. In practice, often these laws are only loosely enforced. I agree that references are needed. --Bk0 (Talk) 02:24, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
The phrase regarding equating no-kill shelters to human life imprisonment, while possibly accurate, is not expressed in the neutral point of view. Please think about removing that statement. Nat 00:01, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] POV in no-kill shelter section
This section appears to have bias against no-kill shelters. I believe there is also a similar dispute on the main no-kill shelter article. If there is no argument against it in a reasonable amount of time, I will remove or rephrase parts of the section.Ninja! 22:24, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- I went ahead and removed the last sentence, which seemed to me to be the most offending part. The paragraph criticizing no-kill shelters appears valid to me, but needs a citation (as does this entire article). Removed the tag, too, hope that's all right. --Joelmills 22:31, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] killing animals for non medical reasons = euthanasia?
This article deals a lot with animals being killed for non-medical reasons, but how's that to be considered euthanasia? If it is, then we could also put in animals killed for slaughter etc. --194.81.255.254 07:30, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
- Technically euthanasia only means to kill something humanely at least according to this article and euthanasia even if it's commonly associated with killing something for humane reasons. In this regard, the techniques used in slaughtering animals for consumption, if intended to be as humane as possible, could perhaps be called euthanasia but they usually aren't probably because the goal there is to get food not to kill the animal. In any case, many would argue even for non medical reasons, the goal is still to prevent suffering, since in the absence of more funds, the alternative is to use less space and less food per animal (or worse, turning away animals who are then likely to be either abandoned or killed potentially in a non-humane fashion). Also, presuming the animal has been in a shelter for several years and it's questionable whether they would ever be adopted, many would also argue keeping it in a relatively small cage without much access to the outdoors until the end of it's life is more cruel Nil Einne (talk) 13:43, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] killed dog's photo
