Methods of ending the life of an animal humanely, including animal euthanasia in general, cervical dislocation and the killing of insects with minimal pain. An entry belongs here when its own source describes humane killing of animals. It excludes slaughter for food and operations that keep the animal alive. Each member is a veterinary and animal care entry that the atlas covers as a subject in its own right, placed here on what its cited article says it is and how it is used, never on its name alone.
