I dont agree with the hammer, dont mind doing it yourself, but there are better ways
Yeah like screw drivers, rubber mallets (makes less noise), rocks the list goes on and on.

and it isnt cruel at all keeping it alive is cruel. ive already had to have one of my cats put down last night at the vet due to a blood clot which paralyzed him and not much hope of a cure and in severe pain and yes there would be so called do gooders who would let him live for their own benefit which is ridiculously selfish the simple fact is i always weigh up the situation and do the best thing for the animal rather than wasting time and making them suffer.the simple fact is this 3hour old lizard had no hope of a good quality of life if he did i would have kept him. basically he actually had a vent but it was twisted and open so he would have got an infection, he had no use of his back legs and would flip over and get stuck
So u still think it was a good idea?
Well for future reference, if someone else finds themselves in such a situation and the best idea u can come up with is to hit it ovethe head with a hammer then pick it up n feed it to another one of your pets, i'd strongly suggest u take it to the vet and get a second opinion on that.
i have more hammers than you can poke a stick at. i was more than happy to spend 3grand or whatever it took to get him better i originally thought hed just damaged his leg but the vet recommended euthanasia so i took that option because he was in so much distress and pain from his condition.What? U couldnt find a hammer to put the cat down???
The fact that he fed it to his lacey has no relevance whatsoever. Once it was dead, who cares what happens to it's body? May as well give the lacey something to munch on. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to drink rainbow water from lollipop fountain and play with all the cute fuzzy wuzzy forest animals in Happyland
ashs_dreams said:Then u fed it to another lizard?
And its not the fact u put it down, its HOW u did it.
U said qupte "he can get around with his front legs and looks like a normal happy hatchling apart from his problems but the no vent problem will be his downfall" so i dont see the rush to wack it over the head with a hammer. From what u said its seems that it's 'suffering' could last a little longer, long enough to be put down HUMANELY (i say that so it would have given u more time to think about how is the best way to do it or perhaps research what humane means then think of the best way to do it) or taken to a vet if need be.
shes probably one of them people who believe rats come frozen in plastic bagsyou kill a rat then feed that off how is this any difrent??
and its not like a vets going to be able to work on something roughly 2mm in diameter and thats if they could even anaesthatise the lizard to do it.It seems you are nit picking and grasping at the tiniest of straws to try and hold on to your futile argument!
Harden up! Destroying the animals brain instantly is pretty damn humane! As long as he wasn't a woos with the hammer and just tapped it. If he gave it a good old manly WHACK, the tiny cutesy wootsy little thing wouldn't have had any idea or suffered any pain at all.
