when an animal is frozen the limbs and exterior tissues die long before the internal organs, this is painful, just ask anyone who has had frostbite, reptiles they last LONGER because they are exothermic, thus prolonging the suffering, just imagine the pain of frozen crystals floating in the veins and tissue dieing while your mind is still working, unable to move or save yourself.

have i seen an animal die of lethal injections? YES, sadly i hold many animals a day, or hold the owner as they hold the animal, its one of the worst parts of my job, but i can be comforted that they die PEACEFULLY! they fall asleep, as they would for a Sx, but are given to much so they do not wake up, yes, sometimes they urinate/defecate on them self, but its after they have lost the ability to control, and so also the ability to feel and so they dont know they have done it, im so sorry if you had a bad time @ a euthanasia, it should never be a bad thing, thus the definition of euthanasia literally "good death" in ancient greek, its a right we have in vet medicine, i wish we had for people, i know if im ever in a place where my life is so bad, you bet ill find one of my vet friends to let me go that way!
