    But I would like to add, that I've gotten so used to people talking about "throwing snakes in the fridge" and freezing them, that I've started using the term myself as a euphemism for killing them, even though I wouldn't actually recommend that method. Bad choice of words on my part.

    But the thought remains.
    you dont recommend that method? i thought you were all for freezing, so how would you euthanise?

    Observe the intent: Whoever killed that snake had the intent of ending its life obviously because they couldn't swallow their pride and return it, or they just hated snakes. The method itself is not inhuman when left with no other choice; If she can't access CO2, then decapitation is the quickest and LEAST painful method, as odd as it sounds.
