@ 'Trouble', thank you for that link, I will read through it later on (when I'm not at work!)
And same for the video from 'Fuscus'. Thankyou for sharing those!
As for the other methods, involving pencils etc, no way! If something goes wrong you're torturing it. I personally couldn't do the killing and wouldn't trust someone inexperienced to do it in that way. A quick broken neck is concerning the man willing to do it for me, so definitely none of the brutal methods!!
I have seen almost every method go wrong, even swinging them against something (a large rat swung by the tail, the tail was degloved and the rat ran free, in excruciating pain). I know with CO2 the concentrations have to be correct, too little and they will get dozy but not die, too much and it can sting their membranes. In the right concentrations it is a humane method. I just don't know how to control the concentrations - hopefully looking into those links will help me
And not to say I will do any of these unlawful methods, but for 'curiosity' I wouldnt mind hearing of any other humane suggestions
