I agree it is also far more painful. even worse some vets, inspectors, those qualified to euthanise inject into the abdomen, which unfortunately results in the animal dying a slow death. Vets routineuly do it this way in small animals, hamsters, g.pigs etc

How disgraceful totally saddened by that

steady on Anne

The RSPCA are trained for this.

Apologies, I thought you were being sarcastic. No you do not have to be a fully trained vet to be an RSPCA inspector.

the rspca is not in america?in america you can give your own dog shots and shoot them if you wish.

Good god, that poor dog, I'm so pleased it's a happy ending.

Did anyone else sign the petition ?

...hence the reason she now refuses to see animals PTS !

No, the RSPCA are only in the UK. I *think* America its called the Human society?

Sylvia held her anti-euthanasia views before her time in America, when she ran Last Chance in Kent.
She still held them in America, but had her own reasoning for taking up the job. She explains it quite well on her Many Tears website.

You have the ASPCA - American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and the HSUS - Humane Society of the United States.
