Seriously, that kinda thing pisses me off. You obviously have no connection with nature or other being's soul, because I could never EVER take my bestest buddy, and chuck him 30 feet in the air and let him plummet to his death. I'm sorry, but damn. If you don't know what it's like to have a pet, don't fuckin post that bullshit, and if you do understand, I think you wouldn't put it so bluntly. "sorry to sound cruel" is no excuse. IF the guy wants advice of exactly how to put him out of his misery, he'll tell you damnit. Just say "dude, I know how you feel man, but you really oughta think about the pain his in and contemplate putting him out of that misery. I know a few ways to do it, if you want." Telling a guy to take a rat that he is already hurting for, and is totally at his mercy and who has done nothing wrong, and smash it's skull in with a fuckin hammer is not what I call a consolation to ANY pet owner who is losing a beloved friend.

ALSO, a hammer blow to the FACE, a traitorous toss in oncoming traffic, or straight up in the air to die to the horrible power of concrete and gravity, is in no way shape or form HUMANE.I'm sorry, it isn't, as much as you'd like to think otherwise. If you were on your deathbed, which would you prefer? to go out slowly, or to let them take a HUGE ASS FUCKING HAMMER that's twice the size of your WHOLE BODY, and dash your brains on a rock? Jesus Christ I hope not.

Drugs are humane. The freezer is also pretty humane, cause really it dulls the pain and once hypothermia sets in, it's actually pretty nice, or you could like, talk to an expert (not a vet, unless you're a rat rights zealot, cause vets are obscenely expensive) about humane ways to put a pet down.

I'm am so sorry for your loss, and also for being a bit of a dick about that shit. It's just that when someone talks like that, I have a sudden urge to grab the closest heavy blunt object and beat them with it, because it's quite obvious that they have no fucking clue and they have no respect for your already hurting feelings. What they SHOULD have said could also be more like this. "I'm so sorry for your loss, but the animal is in pain. You should get a friend to put him out of his misery humanely." and that's IT, not "throw him into oncoming traffic, smash his head in with a hammer, drop him from a height, or chop his head off" I must be turning into some PETA bastard, cause I feel more and more strongly about this stuff as time goes on.
dude, next time you decide to go on some rant, get your facts right...

by a show of hands, if you had to choose, which would you prefer? SLOWLY freezing to death (which anyone who's been in 20 degree weather will know just how miserable that shit can get) or a quick instant death....

i have loved all my pets, and maybe you just don't care so much cuz you're not the one suffering... but a quick death trumps slow death, 100% of the time... PERIOD.

no sane person is offered quick death and says "NO! i want to suffer first"... freezing to death is painful... stick your dick on an ice cube for 10 minutes and tell me that shit isn't painful.... hell just hold an ice cube in your bare hands for 10 minutes straight, without letting go... that's what it feels like to freeze to death, only you can't conviently drop the cold object, you're stuck with it and have no choice....

i don't know what the hell is wrong with your thinking, but you definately got some screws loose if you think freezing to death would hurt less then just having blunt force trauma.... btw, freezing to death, even for a rat can easily take a half hour to an hour... and yes i DO know, because i've had plenty of snakes, even the baby fucking mice (called pinkies) take over half an hour to die... (they don't sell them singley) you have to buy 'em in bulk and freeze them...

i thumped them in the head to kill them.... because i opened the freezer the first time after 20 mins and they were still alive.. and barely moving... i know very well wtf i'm talking about...

(as for what i just said to everyone else, yes it was nessicary, i didn't like having to do it, it upset me, but i had to do it for my snake... he was only a baby.. don't get a baby snake... their feeding habbits take a much 'harder' person to maintain... i hated having to do it, but it had to be done...)
slipknotpsycho Reviewed by slipknotpsycho on . dying rat. please read One of my rats is dying, my favorite one, its put me into tears. I don't know whats wrong with him, but he has the tale-tale signs of death breathing over him. i've already smoked him up, gave him some lemon water (his fave), and gave him a little chocolate to snack on. Can you guys think of anything else that would make him comfortable before he passes? I know it sounds silly, but i really would like some help.:( Rating: 5
