To whomever found my site by searching for, “can i euthanize my dog myself?” on Ask.com — the answer is an emphatic NO.

Please do not try to do this yourself. If your pet is suffering or in pain, please do the humane thing and take it to the vet.

  2. Maybe they had just read this in Slate:

    El Paso, Texas, is requiring microchip implants in all cats and dogs. The chips, which are small enough to be injected with a syringe, identify the animal in a national registry. Failure to put a chip in your pet is a misdemeanor. The idea is to identify missing pets and deter owners from abandoning them. City officials’ rationale: It’s costing us $2.5 million per year to claim, feed, euthanize, and bury these pets. Cynic’s view: Instead of abandoning the pets, owners will now euthanize and bury them for you.

  4. Yikes…the law of unintended consequences, huh?

    You’re probably right about the search query that led to my (unrelated) blog post coming from that particular story.
