[RC] R: Euthanize - Drin Becker" My husband says it is no less stressful to euthanize an animal than it =is to shoot it. Both are quick and painless...the bullet is probably = quicker, actually. It's just the trauma to the person pulling the = trigger. " Barbara , I wholeheartedly agree , my husband and I used to outfit for a living , as our retired dude horses and packstring started to fail in health we take them for a walk into the willow bottoms and Jim gives them a good bait of grain and head scratch and than shoots them . The coyotes take care of the rest.Some of these horses haven't been ridden or used in 5 to 10 years , just wormed , feet trimmed and petted once in awhile. But we are lucky enough where we live that we can do this with little $$ except for their winters hay . We still have two of the pack string left , both are over 30 and looking great on just pasture in the summer and hay in the winter , that is our deal , if they start looking or acting rough than they are put down, otherwise they get to be a pasture pet until their time comes. I even have one cow that is in my "pet category" and will do the same with her.
