• Euthanasia– Transitioning painlessly and stress-free
as possible
• Mass Depopulation– Large numbers, quickly and efficiently
– Consideration to welfare as practicable
• Terms used interchangeably here

Euthanasia and Depopulation
![Page 4: Mass Depopulation & Euthanasia](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812e08550346895d9373c0/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• May be practiced during an animal health emergency
• Goals of Euthanasia – Provide humane treatment
– Select acceptable method
–Minimize negative emotional impact
– Safeguard food chain
– Prevent or mitigate disease spread

Euthanasia and Depopulation
![Page 5: Mass Depopulation & Euthanasia](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812e08550346895d9373c0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Goal: Humane Treatment• Careful restraint and handling to
minimize distress, pain, and injury• Appropriate facilities– Humane and compatible with species
involved
• Competent, experienced personnel
USDA APHIS and CFSPHFAD PReP/NAHEMS Guidelines: MDE-Non-Domestic Animals
Handling
![Page 6: Mass Depopulation & Euthanasia](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812e08550346895d9373c0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Consult with experts when designing euthanasia plan– Zoo animals: USDA support – Game park animals: USDA lead
• Handled only by trained personnel
• May not metabolize drugs, handle stress like domestic species

Non-Domestic Animals
![Page 7: Mass Depopulation & Euthanasia](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812e08550346895d9373c0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Acceptable– Noninhaled anesthetic
• Conditionally Acceptable– Inhaled agents (anesthetics, inert gas)
– Gunshot
• Kill traps• Captive bolt

Euthanasia- Free Ranging
![Page 8: Mass Depopulation & Euthanasia](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812e08550346895d9373c0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Potentially Acceptable– Noninhaled anesthetic
• Potentially Conditionally Acceptable– Inhaled agents (anesthetics, inert gas)
– Gunshot
• Captive bolt

Euthanasia- Zoo Animals

• Handling and restraint may cause extreme stress
• Gunshot may be most practical• Cervids– Captive bolt if able to
restrain
– Free bullet also acceptable

Gunshot or Captive Bolt

• Projectile equipment (dart guns) –Wide variety available
– Utilize powerful restraint agents
• Used by veterinarians with specialized training

Injectable Agents

• Confirmation of death can be difficult– Sustained lack of heartbeat and
respiration
– Rigor mortis
– Evaluate by competent, experienced personnel

Confirmation of Death

Finfish/Aquatic Invertebrates

• Little published information on aquatic euthanasia techniques
• Seek expertise

• Physical methods• Noninhaled methods• Adjunctive methods

Euthanasia Methods
![Page 15: Mass Depopulation & Euthanasia](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812e08550346895d9373c0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Confirmation of death difficult in finfish/aquatic invertebrates – Loss of eyeroll
– Sustained absence of cardiac activity
– Loss of movement/reactivity
– Flaccidity of body
– Respiratory arrest
