EUTHANASIA (cont)
Another humane method of euthanasia is over dosage with a barbiturate, usually pentobarbital administered intraperitoneally. All injectable euthanasia agents should be stored in a locked cabinet.
There are several unacceptable methods of euthanasia, such as use of paralytic drugs and asphyxia with nitrogen gas. Ether is dangerous because it is explosive. Chloroform is toxic to humans.
