Re: deformed pics

Found the pdf. "Euthanasia of animals used for scientific purposes (Currently under revision) - Australian and New Zealand Council for the Care of Animals in Research and Teaching"

http://www.adelaide.edu.au/ANZCCART/...Euthanasia.pdf

Recommended:
Barbiturates.

Acceptable with reservations:
Stunning + destruction of brain (the method I mentioned)

Not acceptable:
Inhaled agents - Halothane, isoflurane, methoxyflurane (reason: able to hold their breaths -> protracted induction)
Hypothermia - crystal formation painful
Decapitation alone - doesn't cause rapid unconsciousness
