Hey PETA says CO poisoning is an acceptable form of euthanasia. This is from a story I pulled directly from the Associated Press' internal database.
"PETA said the video shows Ouderkirk explaining how to kill chinchillas by electrocution and neck-breaking. Because Ouderkirk has sold chinchillas to furriers as well as pet stores and labs, PETA says the USDA should require him to use a more humane method, such as poisoning by carbon monoxide."
Anyway, shame on me for fueling the fire. I really only did that search because I wanted to see where PETA has come up recently, and stumbled upon that nugget of info.
Regardless, may Matilda rest in peace.
