    Is a gunshot not humane if euthanasia is necessary?

      Euthanasia generally means killing painlessly. Is a bullet painless and fast? Folks who survive gunshot wounds say they felt a burning sensation. Did the canines lose consciousness immediately after being shot? Or did they live for a time afterward? Lots of unknowns.

      Only if the bullet is well placed; otherwise absolutely not.

        Well I was assuming they weren’t shooting them in the tail.
