Is "euthanasia" really a happy thing?
This is a shelter for stray cats and dogs in Japan. A congressman filmed this shocking and painful 15 minutes of suffocation...The so-called "euthanasia" is actually not happy...
There are many victims here. Cats and dogs abandoned by their owners...
Once they are sent here...
Their lifespan is only 3-7 days left...
If they are not adopted in these few days...
The only way waiting for them is death - euthanasia.
This is a picture taken by a congressman who is concerned about the euthanasia of stray dogs and went to such a shelter.
All kinds of dogs are kept here, including purebreds and some miscellaneous dogs.
If they stay for a few days without being adopted, they will be "selected" by the staff there.
The "selected" dogs will be fed by the staff with water and food for the last time...
Then take them to another place...
They call this place the "Dream Box" - Dream box
Although the name is beautiful... But the reality is so cruel...
In the confined space, the dog seemed to have a premonition of something, and began to move uneasily inside.
After the seal is sealed, the shelter staff will open the air valve and pour carbon dioxide gas into it.
High concentrations of carbon dioxide are fatal to any living thing.
The dogs began to have difficulty breathing. The body began to twitch continuously
A few minutes later...many dogs had stopped moving...Occasionally, some dogs that were still strong enough to hold on until now had the most desperate look in their eyes through the glass...
The last survivor could not hold on and eventually collapsed.
At the last moment of its life, it may not have been able to figure out what it had done wrong, and why humans would do such things to themselves.
Please adopt more, and don’t abandon them...
Because not only in Japan, but also for animal shelters in most places in the world...
Entering there is a point of no return.
If you love it, please don’t abandon it, and don’t let your dog undergo euthanasia. If you can’t insist on keeping it for a lifetime, then please don’t keep a dog easily!
Euthanasia, as the name suggests, is a painless death, but is it really like this?
When a dog suffers from an incurable disease and endures pain that cannot be controlled by medicine, the owner usually cooperates with the veterinarian to euthanize the dog. However, many owners said that after witnessing the entire process of euthanasia, they found that euthanasia was not pleasant.
There are three methods of euthanasia for dogs:
At present, the first method is most commonly used by domestic pet hospitals, but there is also a lot of controversy about this method. The principle of death by potassium chloride is: instantaneous hyperkalemia caused by injecting potassium chloride, which will cause heart block, weaken contractility, eventually inhibit the myocardium and stop the heart. Although a sedative or anesthetic is injected before potassium chloride is injected, when the anesthetic dose is insufficient or ineffective, the dog will experience a painful death process, because potassium chloride will bring a strong burning sensation, and the dog may also experience general muscle rigidity for a period of time.
The owner’s personal experience of his dog being euthanized by the potassium chloride method:
The dog was already very ill when it was diagnosed, and because of its age, the risk of surgery was too great. Yesterday afternoon, it kept barking in pain, so they gave it an analgesic injection. The doctor said that there was no hope for surgery in its current condition, so he decided to have it euthanized after a long time of struggle. The doctor said that after giving it anesthesia first, it wouldn't feel any pain. But in the end, when I saw it struggling in pain with its mouth wide open, I realized how painful "Anle" is. Now I'm tormented inside!
I regretted letting him get the injection. I also blamed myself for not understanding it well on the Internet beforehand. I should have let it overdose on anesthesia and fall asleep and not wake up, so there would be no final pain. I was the one who made it die in such pain. I made a wrong decision and can never make up for the pain. It's so painful!
I would like to warn all parents, never allow your pet to have anesthesia first and then potassium chloride. The doctor said that after the anesthetic has taken effect, it will not feel anything. After a while, it will not feel any pain after being given anesthesia. I thought it really would not feel anything, but halfway through the potassium chloride injection, it opened its mouth wide and tried to scream but could not. It was struggling in extreme pain! He stared at me with tears in his eyes, full of pain, grievance, and reluctance... But after the medicine was injected, it was no longer possible to save him. It would be even more painful to beat him to death.
I was so worried when I saw that scene. I originally wanted to make him feel better and go away happily, but it turned out to be so painful! I was wrong, I made it so painful and regretful at the last moment of my life! Blame yourself! No chance to do it again! Pain that can never be made up for! It was a sin enough for it to get sick, and it was so painful to die in the end! ! !
In order to allow dogs to die peacefully, the second method is generally recommended abroad - the sodium pentobarbital method. Sodium pentobarbital is generally used in animal anesthesia experiments. Animals will quickly become drowsy and anesthetized after being injected with sodium pentobarbital. When used in large doses, it will inhibit the animal's breathing, and eventually the animal will die due to respiratory paralysis. Injecting sodium pentobarbital does not cause significant pain to dogs, so many organizations and owners choose this method.
Saturated magnesium sulfate method: It is another method that will not cause the dog to struggle and die quickly. The principle is that magnesium ions have the effect of inhibiting the central nervous system, causing loss of consciousness and directly inhibiting the respiratory and vasomotor centers of the medulla oblongata. It also blocks the conduction at the junction of peripheral nerves and skeletal muscles and relaxes the skeletal muscles.
When you have to face the euthanasia of a seriously ill dog as a last resort, you must communicate all the details with the veterinarian to avoid the dog dying in extreme pain.
