>>Is smacking them against the table humane? It's very quick.



Humane or quick? in California this method is not legal in a pet shop.



This method is abhorrent to me. Unless you have very good aim you get stunned (not killed) animals or you get bloody noses/ears that make a mess. Using this method, I once watched a guy tear the tail off the animal while giving it a bloody nose and terrific anger. He had a pissed off rat bleeding all over his room. That animal survived while leaving a bloody mess. It was hard to capture because of the lack of tail. Finally a snap trap got it (survical dislocation)



In California pet shops the only legal methods as written into state law are cervical dislocation or CO2 chambers. Freezing & CO poisoning are specifically outlawed in other code.
