For domesticated animals, the discussion of animal euthanasia is often substituted with euphemisms, such as "put down" or "put to sleep".

Methods

The methods of euthanasia can be divided into pharmacological and physical methods. Acceptable pharmacological methods include injected drugs and gases that first depress the central nervous system and then cardiovascular activity. Acceptable physical methods must first cause rapid loss of consciousness by disrupting the central nervous system.
