The pound by my house used to use carbon monoxide. They had an old small-block Chevy with its exhaust vented into the kill room and they'd just fire that bad boy up. Eventually local residents decided that felt ghetto and donated money for a little doggy electric chair (JK, they probably switched to drugs), but nobody ever argued about whether the exhaust method was inhumane. It is pretty humane.

dang, that actually is a pretty decent suggestion that I hadn't even considered at all.

I mean, it was good enough for our little redneck SPCA at least

I've looked it up since then and apparently it once saw pretty widespread use in animal shelters.
