Euthanasia is an effective tool in improving the welfare of an individual or group of animals.I consider these facts, and have spent a lot of time and study convincing myself of these truths: Now, some general information about euthanasia. If the cost, distance or circumstances preclude you using a vets’ services, I would far rather see you do the job properly yourself, than botch something as important and emotional as this.
Veterinarians will euthanize birds in most cases….often they do not feel comfortable diagnosing or treating, but will still perform this important service. Nobody, regardless of experience, ever euthanizes at the perfect time….we do our best and have to live with the decisions.Įuthanasia definitely does not have to be a “do it yourself” process. As long as we both consider the situation, and make the decision based on the welfare of the animal, we are both right. Both of our opinions are based on how we compute pain endured vs the value of extending a life. I have my opinion of whether it is humane to try to set a broken leg on a chicken and try to get her to recover. You need to make that decision based on your values, ethics and experience. One thing I will never do is tell an owner WHEN it is appropriate to euthanize. I have also been asked by many of you in my comment section for advice, and have seen a LOT of questionable things floating around on the internet. I believe that it is part of the responsibility of any animal owner to reduce the suffering of any animal in their care, and euthanasia is an important part of that. It is possibly the biggest contribution I will make in my career to animal welfare.

I have done A LOT of work with the professional poultry producers in the past couple years, teaching the best euthanasia techniques and procedures. This is a post I have been wanting to write for a long time, but hesitant to take on.
