The word Euthanasia comes from the Greek word “eu” meaning good and the word“Thanotos” meaning death. Euthanasia is thus the process of inducing a “good death.”This would be a death that is swift and would involve little pain or distress. In regard to animal euthanasia it means the euthanasia procedure should be conducted with the highest degree of respect for that animal with an emphasis on making that death as painless and easy as possible for an animal that maybe suffering.
