I'm assuming the not good deaths where they jerked and cried out in pain, were the ones without anaesthesia? I think (but not 100% sure) that the vet protocol in the Uk now is to always use anaesthesia first, but if it is not instructed from the body that instructs vets, there may be some who don't so always best to ask before going to them when a pet is ready to go. And unless they assure you that they always use anaesthesia as a matter of protocol then go somewhere else.

So in Canada is anaesthesia not an option?
