Hey folks! Just made this video a few days back and I find it important to spread because there's some horrible stuff on YouTube under the title "Cervical Dislocation" in which the rodent suffers horribly. The method is applicable to all small rodents. I'd like to request that you guys share this video too, if you care about reducing the suffering to the bare minimum for ALL animals, yes, even for the preys! Viewer discretion advised: This video depicts humane euthanasia of rodents. Here's the link you may share: http://www.you tube.com/watch?v=opwXJ7MgjPECheers.P.S.: I'm not looking for fame, the video is on an otherwise quite unused account and only my hands and belly shows really.
I edited your post to include a disclaimer for those who don't know that Cervical Dislocation is a form of euthanasia. Nice video - I think all forms of ending life have their limitations... And I agree that a goal of all keepers should be to reduce the pain and suffering of prey items. If I had the ability to rear my own rodents I would feed fresh, pre-killed exclusively.
