not when it's 500 Jews..... that's just plain genocide lol - Original answer
I don't know how that's funny. And it wasnt 500 it was often 10-15 thousand executed in gas chambers at a time. This was far from Humane much like watching a rhino being brought down by a dart. The most common gas was Hydrogen Cyanide which would kill upon contact with skin not lungs.
It took some people in the Gas Chamber 15-20 minutes to die.
she died in a gas chamber
Isn't this what dictionaries are for?Crematorium: a place where dead bodies are burned.Gas chamber: an airtight room that can be filled with poisonous gas to perform executions.
The link below is about a boy who did survive a gas chamber, not once, but SIX times! I am sure surviving a gas chamber would be extremely rare though, even the boy who did survive in the link below talks about watching in horror as everyone else in the gas chamber with him died. ____ That source strikes me as unreliable and I just don't believe the story especially as he was at Bergen-Belsen, which didn't even have gas chambers. You should assume that one does not survive.
No. It will make you feel sleepy and you will eventually lose conscientiousness.
Some say yes, some say no. It's a hot topic for animal rights activists, because animals are put through some discomfort when they're gassed. Some SPCA shelters still use them.
The first execution by gas chamber was carried out in 1921 in Nevada. It is considered to be a more humane alternative of execution to the electric chair.
Euthanasia is used mainly in animals, and it is a humane way of killing them to stop them suffering.
Death. Euthanasia is the act of putting an animal or person to death for humane, punishment or population control purposes.
Euthanasia (from Greek for 'good death') tries to give a humane death. But I believe that unless a cat is ill or suffering, with no hope, cats and dogs should have the same right to live and not be killed.
It was seen as a more humane way of executing people than the other methods employed.
No. The Nazis exterminated people against their will. The Nazis did the choosing and chose who they thought shouldn't be allowed to live. Euthanasia as discussed today is the termination life as a humane act. The Nazis did not exterminate people for humane reasons.The word euthanasia in your question should be highlighted in quotation marks since Nazi killing was anything but humane.
In the UK, euthanasia is illegal. However, some terminally ill patients may seek assistance in dying through lawful means such as assisted suicide. The number of people seeking this option each year is relatively low and specific figures are not readily available.
The gas chamber was not an event.
You can find the curriculum hrough the State Humane Association of California but courses must be taught by a licensed veterinarian or RVT or through an approved Humane organization. You can find links to training through the State Humane Association of California.
I think gas is a cruel way to kill anyone or anything - the most humane way to kill an animal is to give it a sedative so it just feels sleepy and then stops breathing. That way it's not scared like if it's trying to breathe.
The mission statement of the American Humane Society states that its aims are to "focused on preventing cruelty, neglect and exploitation of animals". This seems to say that they will do anything they can to prevent animals being abused or neglected. They probably don't think euthanasia is appropriate, but what other choice do they have? Unfortunately, it seems like euthanasia is necessary. One of the programs that the Humane Society runs is called "Getting to Zero". This program has the aim of ending euthanasia of healthy and treatable animals. This rather shows that the Humane Society does not consider euthanasia appropriate in some circumstances. They are trying to reduce the 3.7 million healthy dogs and cats that are euthanised annually to zero. That seems like a pretty huge goal, and one that shows the Society doesn't think euthansia is appropriate. We have developed into a throw-away society. We throw away food, we throw away electrical appliances when they don't work any more, and we even throw away our pets (not to mention our children). Euthanasia by the humane society is the only way to deal with all the unwanted pets and those that have been so badly neglected or abused that they can never live a "normal" life. If the Humane Society had choice, they would not put down innocent pets. But there is no choice. Not while people regard life so cheaply.
