Cervical dislocation IS Internal Decapitation. The only thing holding the head on is skin.



It takes a pretty hard tug to pull the head all the way off of all but the smallest mice. Forget it for rats.



The point of the post was to let everyone know we may still feed live, but if we want to feed pre-killed a shop has to use only one of two methods to accomplish the euthanasia. Of course if you buy already killed rodents, then this does not apply.
