Euthanizing My Dog

My dog “Buttons” bit the mailman and we have to put him to sleep. My amish friend told me that they always put their dogs to sleep by whacking them in the back of the neck with a flat bladed shovel. He felt that this was the most humane way to perform this process at home. I am a little uncomfortable with the idea but I want to know what others may think. Thanks for the help.

Answer #1

I think you should keep the dog, don’t kill it. Just hide it from the police. And tell them that you had it put down. That’s what I’d do.

Answer #2

Take the dog to the Vet…Tho the Amish are a peaceful people, they aren’t known for their kind treatment of animals…think PUPPY MILLS…

Answer #3

That sounds extremely cruel and unnecessary, in my opinion. If you need to euthanize your dog, I think that taking it to the vet to do so would be a lot better..

Answer #4

Your Amish friend is an idiot and needs to realize that his way is actually animal cruelty and illegal. I suggest taking your pet to the vet to have it euthanized.

Answer #5

Thats a horrible thing to do to a dog!! Please don’t do that!! Bring your dog to the vet and have him put down. But my question is, was this bite reported to the police and if it was I am pretty sure the dog has another chance to not be put asleep. I think it just gets recorded and if he bites again and it gets reported to the police a second time then they say to put him down.. I would look into that if you want to keep your dog..

Answer #6
  1. Call animal control on your “friends” who torture there animals. 2.- why do you have to put Him to sleep?
  2. if you have to let me ask you this question. Would you hit a person in the back of the neck with a shovel and hope that is works the first hit.
  3. Do you really think that is ok to do???
  4. turn the dog over to the dog warden and have them take care of the dog.
  5. put your dog on a leash or fenced in area and teach it some manners by working with the dog.
