Gemmel Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 He's 15 had a great life, but everything has started to pack up. I can take him to the vets and for 50 quid he can be put to sleep. Can I save myself 50 quid and do it myself? I assumed not, but having a play on the net seems like I could do. Obviously won't tell the kids, but from what I thought was a complete no no, what I have read it is within the law. And for the animal lovers out there, he wont feel a thing.

Sheaf Saint Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 There was a debate about this on Jeremy Vine's radio 2 show recently because a man was convicted for killing his own dog, although in his case it was because he had caused the dog unnecessary suffering by slitting its throat and leaving it to die slowly. A few experts called in and advised that as long as you do it quickly and without undue suffering then there is nothing legally stopping you from euthanising your own pet.
Saintandy666 Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 I imagine the vet will have the ability to do it much more painlessly than you would.
Gemmel Posted 14 January, 2012 Author Posted 14 January, 2012 I imagine the vet will have the ability to do it much more painlessly than you would. The vets way takes 16 - 22 seconds, I can do it quicker than that.
Saint in Paradise Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 So rather than spend a small sum of money to have it put to sleep in a humane way you would rather murder that animal yourself, one who has loved you for 15 years.
Jillyanne Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 Sorry but you horrible bastard, no doubt that feline has given you years of affection and YOU chose to have it!!! It didn't damn well choose you. Do the decent thing and take it to the vet asap, you are being extremely cruel already by not having taken it already if it's organs are failing. I took may 18 year old moggy to be put down on xmas eve 2010, worst thing ever but at least I knew I had done the right thing and the last thing he saw was my face not me with a big bastard spade!!!
Jillyanne Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 Jesus some people don't deserve animals do they SIP.
Crab Lungs Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 Spade, whack, spade, woods, dig, spade, bury. Lol. There is an alternative...
dune Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 Put it in a sack with a brick and throw it in a canal.
Saint in Paradise Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 Put it in a sack with a brick and throw it in a canal. You sick sick b*stard. What a great pity you were not one of the missing on that cruise ship yesterday.
Manuel Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 Cats are pretty quick, unless it's seriously unwell I suspect the chances of a clean hit with a spade are slim, and an initial glancing blow is likely to cause suffering. Throw it into one of those tree shredders. Following the recent strong winds there are loads around at the roadside or nearby. A quick ten quid into the hand of the operator and you have the most humane method you can ask for.
Gemmel Posted 14 January, 2012 Author Posted 14 January, 2012 Jesus some people don't deserve animals do they SIP. What a stupid response. I have 3 dogs and a cat (I did have 3 dogs, 2 cats and a goldfish (I flushed the goldfish down the toilet when ward equilised..... seemed the right thing to do at the time) So i think I am an animal lover. Now the cat is goin to die, why does it matter how, as long as he doesnt suffer?????
dingbattigger Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 How exactly would you do it yourself? Yes it takes several seconds when a vet does it but it's just like being put under for an op, no pain/suffering at all. Can you gaurantee not 1 second of pain? Even a bullet causes pain before oblivion
aintforever Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 My mate had a similar problem when his cat got really ill on a Sunday night and he thought all the vets would be shut. He ended up strangling it and from what he said it took ages and was horrific. IF I was you I would stump up the cash and get it done properly because whatever yo have planned might go wrong.
Essruu Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 Spade, whack, spade, woods, dig, spade, bury. I've just realised how un-pc that may read. For clarification: I wasn't in any way suggesting you force a black man to kill your cat.
dune Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 You sick sick b*stard. What a great pity you were not one of the missing on that cruise ship yesterday. It's a cat FFS.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 If you have had the cat as a pet for 15 years why would you worry about £50 if you could allow it a pain free and dignified end? Weird to even consider saving money in these circumstances
dune Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 If you have 3 millions pigs you want rid of the Koreans are your men. [video=youtube;U6-r9vkG2gc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6-r9vkG2gc
anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 Things is you might be able to get it done quick but if you let a vet do it then at least you don't have to see it up close yourself and know that you did it. Plus you've got the risk of not quite doing it right - that would be a bit of a ****ter. So what's you chosen method if you do go for DIY?
angelman Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 No I don't think it illegal to put down your pet yourself. Maybe best to find someone else to do it for you though. If you want a painless, and I mean truly painless way of euthanasing, can I point you in the direction of carbon dioxide. When people/animals inhale it, it fills the lungs, renders you unconscious pretty damn quickly (not that you know about it) and that's it. Somewhat more peaceful than shooting your own cat.
norwaysaint Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 The vets way takes 16 - 22 seconds, I can do it quicker than that. That doesn't make much sense. They put down cats by overdosing them on anaesthetic, so they literally fall asleep and then die with no pain or suffering at all. How is the amount of time relevant? I don't know if it's illegal and it's not morally wrong, but I'd hate to take the chance of ****ing it up if I cared about the animal.
Saintandy666 Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 It's a cat FFS. 'If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals'
Minsk Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 I've just realised how un-pc that may read. For clarification: I wasn't in any way suggesting you force a black man to kill your cat. That is extremely (un)funny - and just ever so slightly racist. Why am I not surprised??
dune Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 'If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals' And your point is?
dune Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 That is extremely (un)funny - and just ever so slightly racist. Why am I not surprised?? It made me laugh.
Saintandy666 Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 And your point is? I'm just saying that saying it is only a cat and who cares if it dies in pain(which is what is inferred) is pretty cruel!
Crab Lungs Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 If you have 3 millions pigs you want rid of the Koreans are your men. [video=youtube;U6-r9vkG2gc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6-r9vkG2gc F()cking hell that's horrific.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 I think small little Dune was bullied at school
harvey Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 I'd be interested to hear how you're going to dispatch this animal (so humanely) that's been part of your family for the last fifteen years?
dune Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 I'm just saying that saying it is only a cat and who cares if it dies in pain(which is what is inferred) is pretty cruel! Have you ever used fly spray?
Son of Dave Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 Gemmel, i do not know you & you do not know me, but man is meant to have risen above stuff like this - prove it to yourself and take the cat to the vet. You may think it funny to provoke response, but you're wrong & I reckon you know it too.
dune Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 big lol at all those taking this thread seriously.
Saintandy666 Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 Have you ever used fly spray? Most insects don't have nociceptors I believe(don't know whether flies do or not). Plus, a cat is different to insects, especially one that you have a lot of emotional investment in. You owe it a peaceful painless death.

Jonnyboy Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 This thread is really bringing out the psychos.
St Chalet Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 Pay the £50, someone will be sending this URL to the RSPCA as we speak.
Minsk Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 It made me laugh. That does not surprise me either.
Whitey Grandad Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 Have you considered organ donation? You don't have to take them all at once.

Are you really this gullible?

EastleighSoulBoy Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 Lol. There is an alternative... Like that b!t Having said that I do suspect that the OP may shoot the poor mite. I could only do it if a vet was not available, certainly not for saving £50!
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 And your point is? I get the impression that he's calling you a callous, heartless piece of excrement? Just an impression though.
Saint_Jonny Posted 14 January, 2012 Posted 14 January, 2012 Can I do it? I hate cats. It hasn't 'loved' him for 15 years, it has used him for food and **** in his garden. Microwave the ****er.
Gemmel Posted 15 January, 2012 Author Posted 15 January, 2012 Pay the £50, someone will be sending this URL to the RSPCA as we speak. Although it has degenerated into a bit of a farce... the original post was genuine.
LGTL Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 The fact that you won't tell your children shows that you know full well it would be wrong to do. Just pay the £50 if the cat ever meant anything to you.
rocknrollman no2 Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 Personally i think it would be better for humanity to have Dune put down.
Sergei Gotsmanov Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 A well aimed shot in its home environement is far kinder than the stress of a visit to the vet.
