Abstract

Humans bear a moral responsibility to ensure the welfare of ruminants during euthanasia, slaughter, and in animal health emergencies, which may warrant depopulation. In each of these, death comes quickly by way of an immediate loss of consciousness, which leadsss to respiratory and cardiac arrest. Coupled with compassionate care and handling in the moments leading up to euthanasia, it is possible to assure the welfare of ruminants in end-of-life situations.
