What is it called when you put an animal down?

Its when your pet dies by a vetranarian puts a shot into the animal and it falls asleep and never wakes up (uthinize). That was the bad thing. There is another one where the animal needs surgery and needs to fall asleep to do so.

When would you need to quarantine an animal?

When The Animal Is Going To Be About To Die, Or When It Is Going To Be Eaton By Another Animal.Generally, an animal is quarantined if it bites a person or other animal & breaks the skin (makes it bleed). The local humane society can either put the animal in quarantine at the shelter itself or on an in-home quarantine.This is only done to verify that the biter does not have rabies or another infectious disease.The only other times an animal is put in quarantine is if you are traveling to another country, if the animal is vicious to people, or if the animal may have a disease that other animals/people can contract.

Does the humane society kill animals?

The Humane Society will keep an animal for three (3) days, and then the animal will be evaluated to determine whether or not he or she can be safely adopted to another family.If the animal is determined not to be "adoptable" -- by way of aggression (the cat is wild, the dog bites too easily when his food is messed with, etc.), illness (most facilities do not have the How_long_will_the_humane_society_keep_an_animalor resource to care for a sick animal, so they just put them down) or breed (Pit Bulls are not adoption candidates and are euthanized), the animal will be put down during the next day's "clean out".Animals born in the facility are generally euthanized based on weight upon birth -- especially if the mother is aggressive. The facility I worked in would euthanize kittens who were 0.6 ounces underweight. I didn't stick around long enough to find out about the puppies; I couldn't take it anymore.The facility will put down anywhere from 70-100 cats in a week or more. I am unsure about the number of dogs.How_long_will_the_humane_society_keep_an_animal
