Animal euthanasia (euthanasia from Greek: εὐθανασία; "good death") is the act of putting an animal to death or allowing it to die as by withholding extreme medical measures. Reasons for euthanasia include incurable (and especially painful) conditions or diseases, lack of resources to continue supporting the animal, or laboratory test procedures. Euthanasia methods are designed to cause minimal pain and distress. Euthanasia is distinct from animal slaughter and pest control although in some cases the procedure is the same.
In domesticated animals, this process is commonly referred to by euphemisms such as "put down", "put to sleep", or "put out of his/her/its misery".
The methods of anesthesia 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. The most common methods are discussed here, but there are other acceptable methods used in different situations.
This may be the saddest video you see all day, unless you absolutely hate cats. The cat in this video, Peaches a 10 year old Taby, had Bone Caner. It was totally unexpected and progressed quickly. This video shows her last moments alive. If you listen, she went out purring.

This is a video of my dog Simon being put down. I recorded all of this today, July 30th 2007, and kept it for personal reasons. It was uploaded to YouTube so people can witness what putting a dog down is like. ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- FAQ: Written May 5th 08 Q: Why was he put down? A: He was put down due to bone cancer, bone inflammation, brittle bone in front right leg (caused by cancer), and heart conditions due to spread of cancer. I didn't want to put him down if he had a good amount of time left. However, due to very high amounts of pain and yelping and the fact that every vet I inquired said the same thing (that he has less than 2 weeks) I decided to put him down to stop the ...

Dog put down and then wakes up... Matt Olivarez of Redford, Michigan had to do what every animal owner dreads – he had to put his dog to sleep. Now he may have to do it all over again. Last Saturday, Matt took his 10-year-old Rottweiler, Mia, to the vet. Mia has spinal problems and is barely able to walk. Matt’s vet recommended the family dog be put down because nothing could be done to ease her pain. Matt says he watched as his beloved Mia was given two shots. Moments later Mia closed her eyes and it appeared she was gone. Matt says the vet declared her deceased. Because Mia is so important to his wife and two young children, Matt brought the dog home so the family could give her a burial. But the next morning Matt went into the garage where he put Mia’s body and she was awake. Now M...

http://www.AfterlifeTV.com Animals and the Afterlife: Do Pets Have Souls? KIM SHERIDAN: “Even if you don’t have pets, this episode teaches a bundle about life after death. Do animals go to the afterlife? What evidence exists for it? And what signs and signals can our departed pets send us from the spirit world? These are the questions I discuss with Kim Sheridan, author of Animals And The Afterlife. Kim also answers: Do our pets in spirit watch over and guide us? How do they feel about us getting a new pet? And can they return again as a future pet? We also talk about euthanasia, the purpose of a pet’s life, and animal communication. Kim proved to be a smart and interesting expert on the afterlife with some brilliant spiritual insights. Very cool episode!” ~ Bob Olson, Afterlife TV http:/...
