If you're willing to use CO2, a few lbs. of dry ice from the grocery store in a box with a pet would do the job.

Choking out your own pets is not as simple as it sounds. Even old, sick, weak ones will fight at the last.

Starting fluid spray (ether) will get 'em stoned enough to not kick much when their head goes in a bucket of water, or when they are being choked.

Mammalian response to excess CO2 is not a pleasant way to go. It's not actually a deprivation of oxygen that causes autonomic arousal, it's an excess of CO2. Could we please curtail the sadism via ignorance?

Did you miss the bit about getting the animals high as a kite first?

"Not kick much."

Who's benefit is this for, again? You, or them?

The wife, mostly. I'd be fine with giving 'em a 12 gauge 00 buck round to the head but she wouldn't like it.

My dog never wanted to smoke joints when I offered.

But he liked beer. A lot.

Dogs do be likin' beer.
