Q

AVMA: What is Euthanasia?

A

Euthanasia is derived from the Greek terms eu meaning good and thanatos meaning death. The term is usually used to describe ending the life of an individual animal in a way that minimizes or eliminates pain and distress. A good death is tantamount to the humane termination of an animal’s life.

51
Q

AVMA: The veterinarian’s duty in carrying out euthanasia includes these 2 things:

A

(1) their humane disposition to induce death in a manner that is in accord with an animal’s interest and/or because it is a matter of welfare.
(2) the use of humane techniques to induce the most rapid and painless and distress-free death possible.

52
Q

AVMA: Is AVMA a regulatory body?

A

No.

AVMA offers guidance to those who may apply
these Guidelines as part of regulatory structures
designed to protect the welfare of animals used for
human purposes.

53
Q

AVMA: How are euthanasia methods classified in the Guidelines?
