Those would be humane. They may not exactly sound like it but I can't think of a quicker way of doing it.

Re: deformed pics

I'm sure it'd be just fine, but for some reason I just don't like how that sounds. It doesn't seem like it'd have enough time to hibernate or go to sleep. Of course they are cold blooded so I guess it'd be different than us freezing to death. Oh well, I don't know all that much, and I'm sure you know what you're doing.

Re: deformed pics

yeah I would think cutting the head off would probably be the
quickest way to do it.......
I didn't think of that, but freezing would most likly be slow
I would think, and severing the head should kill them right away, but its your call which ever you feel better doing, but it should be done as soon as possible.......

Re: deformed pics

I think I'd opt for freezing too. Any kind of butchery seems a bit ...well...brutal. I'm sure it would be quick though.

Re: deformed pics

I know some times they freeze Lobster to kill it, but most of the time
they sever it because its a much faster death......
