Is drowning humane?

[Sara S]

Me too for 3 of them. Bit this one has a thick spine now

i still think it’s the best way. other than that, i can’t give you any advice.

It’s just one with a busted leg.

I'm sorry. *hugs* I had to go through that with a turkey last year. It's difficult to put them down when they're that little - not only physically, but emotionally, too.

My advice - let him do it. The more confident a person is with the task, the less likely they will panic midway and draw out the death. There's no honor system in play here, the ONLY thing that matters is the painless death.

Absolutely, the painless death is the most important thing hopefully in time I will be able to take that responsibility on

No, not humane. Yes, it gets the job done, but there are countless otherwise to accomplish the same end that aren't inhumane.
