Did I say you should let the animal suffer?
Like I said, according to the HSUS (and PETA, too, by the way) the ONLY acceptable way to euthanize an animal is by lethal injection. Snapping an animal's neck, is, according to any animal organization, a CRUEL and unacceptable method of euthanasia. In some places you could actually be charged with cruelty to animals by doing it.
It really frustrates me how many people state that they love their pets so much yet they are too cheap or too lazy to bother taking them to a competent vet for proper treatment. If you can't afford or have no interest in providing proper veterinary care for your pets, you shouldn't have pets in the first place. You'll spend $50 at the Red Lobster for dinner without thinking twice about it, but you think that's waste to spend on an animal's euthanasia. Bizarre.

Yeah, you probably are getting in over your head, because you obviously don't seem to know very much about veterinary care and human methods of euthanasia.
