Posted by: johnfroton at Wed Aug 31 18:44:31 2005 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by johnfroton ] It may very well be a painless way to go when gradually freezing reptiles but I certainly would question what criteria an animal services euthanasia technician would be using when he surmised that cooling was more "effective" than euthanasia. I wonder if he means effective as in less movement or difficulty in handling or if there is actually some kind of methodology involved that would enlighten as to the python's detachment from feeling anything. From what I know of reptiles, they become less able to move as they get colder. But whether they become numb to the cold I do not know. I think if I went with freezing an animal that I would want to sedate it as well just to remove doubt. | ||
