i will be gassing my 4 year-old rat with car exhaust

she seems to have some kind of abdominal tumor which is growing fast


damn.

1. Die Ratte ist tot. Sie wird getan.

Alles kaput.

RIP, ratty.

[JVS]

2. WTF? Why the elaborate gassing?

Wouldn't it be quicker to just back up over her?

My condolences though

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

3. It would, but I find the gas works better and more sure

and allows the children to believe in a natural death.
It would be kind of hard to explain how she got smashed in the driveway all over the tires when I told them she died in my arms.

Thanks. I am suprised no one responded to this.

4. something about german speakers and gassing

5. I am very sorry. I've known some people who have had to do it to kittens

who had been run over by cars but were dying slowly and painfully. This is a humane way to put them down, eso if you can't afford a vet or the vet is very far away.

7. There is very little they can do for rats

especially those with serious internal problems.

6. My condolences
