Euthanatizing agents are commonly categorized into three main categories: inhalant agents, noninhalant pharmacologic agents, and physical methods. The inhalant agents include anesthetic gases, ether, cyclopropane, nitrous oxide, halothane, methoxyflurane, enflurane, isoflurane, nitrogen gas, and hydrogen cyanide gas. They are administered to the animal via a closed chamber, container, or face mask. The noninhalant agents include injectable pharmacologic agents. The preferred route of administration of the noninhalants is by intravenous injection. Physical methods of euthanasia include the use of the captive bolt pistol, gunshot, cervical dislocation, decapitation, electrocution, microwave irradiation, and rapid freezing. The "1993 Report of the AVMA Panel on Euthanasia" (Citation 002) is frequently referred to the veterinary and biomedical community and provides guidelines for recommended euthanitization methods by animal group and species.
Personnel administering an euthanatizing agent must know: 1) whether the agent is appropriate for the species, 2) what route, dose or concentration the agent should be administered, 3) if the agent may result in fear behavior, struggling, or vocalizations, 4) if the animal shows signs of experiencing pain, 5) how rapidly the agent results in unconsciousness, 6) if the agent causes tissue changes, 7) the technical skills for appropriate administration, and 8) if the agent is economical. If the animal is a pet, personnel must also address the emotional needs of the owner. Has the pet owner been informed of alternatives? Has the owner received a complete explanation of the euthanasia procedures? Should the owner be present during euthanasia and should family members be allowed to view the body afterwards?
This Special Reference Brief (SRB) was designed for use by veterinarians, shelter personnel, pet owners, researchers, agriculturists, and zoologists. Bibliographic citations on euthanatizing methods for a variety of animal species in different circumstances are listed. The citations include references from professional journals and books. Selected citations were included from 1981 to present and citations are arranged in chronological order from the most recent to least recent.
This brief is provided for convenience in obtaining access to published material on animal euthanasia. No attempt has been made by the authors or advisors to dictate which method or under what circumstances euthanasia should be performed. That issue remains the responsibility of the professional personnel in each circumstance subject to animal needs, facilities, and the concerns for animal welfare and the reduction in animal suffering. Utilization of this reference list, however, will provide an opportunity to base decisions on published scientific information.
If references are available from the National Agricultural Library Collection (NAL), their call numbers are given. Document delivery information is provided in bulletins 15 and 16 on the Agricultural Library Forum (ALF) for patrons who wish to obtain references through NAL.
The authors wish to express appreciation to Dr. Charles E. Short, Professor of Anesthesiology, at the College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, for his thoughtful insights and review of the initial draft of this special reference brief.
