Oddly enough, American Humane Association (Which is NOT H$U$) stated in the paperwork I got in the euthanasia certification course that beheading is humane in reptiles and a few types of livestock. To euthanize with injection you need to either be a vet or certified to euthanize (CET - Certified Euthanasia Technician) and work in an approved facility. The injection also includes drugs which will make the meat un-usable because of the chemicals. I am not sure if it affects the skins. Also I would like to mention for those at humane societies that are trained in this, the course taken focus' on cat and dog. Euthanizing reptiles is a different ball game. The biggest mistake folks make is not warming the body post injection and fail to properly inject. The chemical merely sedates the animal if you fail to warm it properly.

Now beheading for press is just plain ole tacky and annoying, but just wanted to clarify that. It was done for attention and that is annoying. Personally, I will stick with the injections when needed on my animals, be they personal or rescue.
