Animal euthanasia has been around for a long time, euthanasia meaning "Good Death" in Greek. No one knows who actually came up with it because it has just always been around, it's just common sense. If an animal is in an irrepairable state, and is in pain, then it is humane to put it to sleep. In the Australian Veterinary industry a drug called "Lethabarb" is used. It is also known as the "green dream" as it is coloured green. Lethabarb is just the brand name and Pentobarbitone Sodium is the actual chemical. If you are worried that the animal goes through any pain in this process, don't be. Remember, the aim of it is to stop the animals pain. Basically the chemical causes the animal to fall asleep and their heartbeat slows continually until it stops completely.
