ok that may be true but its still inhumane. even if death is in 20-30 seconds the pinky is in horrible pain and very scared during those 20-30 seconds. while crushing its brain kills it instintly. how would you rather die????

Just freeze them. Trying to "crush the head" will be messy, it's hard to kill a day-old pink with a flick in the head without making the thing explode.

Share all you want. I don't have claims to any of the links. I'm just sharing the wealth of information like you.

Good Luck

The pink is scared the moment you take it from it's mother. As for pain, death by hypothermia isn't painful for them because it is too fast. They are so small that they cannot generate enough heat on their own to survive, and would freeze to death at room temperature if left alone. Flash-freezing it would be the quickest and cleanest way to kill them, once they grow fur, then it takes too long and becomes inhumane.

Call me cruel or selfish but if you don't crush the pinky correctly, a bloody, twitching pinky is a lot traumatic than a pinky in a block of ice.

When you order online from rodentpro or cheese factory, do you honestly think they manually crush the skulls of each and every one of their pinkies? No. They probably just dump them all in the freezer.

And by using water they're not dying of drowning. Pinkies can actually hold their breath for an amazingly long period of time, and it's a LOT harder to kill them by drowning than by freezing. Believe me.. I've tried it. I also thought drowning would be quicker at first. So I submerged a pinky in a bowl of water (room temp) and after more than a minute, I took it out, and it was still moving. Ever since that experience I just freeze all my pinkies. Quick, clean, and painless.

Why cant you just take a needle and put some air into its blood, that should kill it quick, right?

Freeze them ice cube style. Quick and humane. No mess.

How would injecting air via needle into an infant mouse be appropriate CoralSnowCorn?
