Afrikan Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Depends at what level Ira... C1 injuries are often fatal. I know of injuries where the spinal cord has been crushed or severed and at C1 level often the victims end up dead. Severing the head right off is alot different to a neck or back injury anyway...

tHEcONCH Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 I wonder what it would be like if the Predator did this to you: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreedingFrenzy Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Going back to the beheading thing there was a chicken that had been beheaded that lived for around 9months or something, and was feed down it's throat through a syringine... Quite odd - thats guiness book of records for you though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonka Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Quote "Going to sleep is very very quick and very painfree I think id rather die in my sleep then have someone cut my head off" 15 minutes ,as you say in your first post, is not very ,very quick at all , and you say that it wasnt even dead at that point. Off with his head , a cup of tea , and knit a sweater in the same amount of time 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakyfish Posted May 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Maybe you should reread the post I said it went to sleep very quickly but didnt die straight away Yeah he died not long after but still being asleep as this process is taking place ensures it pain free Have you ever had surgery? Did you feel the knife cut into your body? How many younger members are you going to encourage to use a knife when using clove oil is a safe alternative Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeous Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 I topped a neon by smashing it on concrete Don't know how i would do a bigger fish :-? . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Couldn't have said it better Freakyfish... and definately a much less unsettling method for younger members to put their fish down 8) georgeous says: I topped a neon by smashing it on concrete He grins as he says it....

jim r Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Professionals use pentobarb and imo anyone who is that concerned should take the fish to a vet as it is not available over the counter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
