End inhumane barbaric intra cardiac euthanasia on conscious animals

  • by: Marion Price

Hello everyone ,
I have started this petition following the euthanasia of my beautiful German Shepherd named Lexi by intra cardiac euthanasia.

Lexi was euthanised on April the 18th 2023 by intra cardiac euthanasia fully conscious. It was horrific -- Lexi suffered excruciating pain and distress in her final hours. It was deeply distressing and traumatising to witness.

It is a very cruel, painful, distressing and undignified way for any animal to die.

I am am calling on Niamh Muldoon registrar and CEO of the Veterinary Council of Ireland to make it mandatory that all animals euthanised by intra cardiac injection must be anesthetised. Failure to do so must be punishable by disciplinary action.

We do not want any animal to suffer the horrific painful death that Lexi did. Intra cardiac injection euthanasia without anesthesia does not belong in a civilised society.

Intra cardiac euthanasia also known as heart stick is where a syringe with a long needle filled with sodium pentobarbital must puncture several thick muscles and tissue to reach the heart. It is extremely painful and distressing on a conscious animal and much slower as a conscious frightened animal that is in excruciating pain fights the effects.

In honour of Lexi and all other animals that were euthanised by such cruel, inhumane, barbaric means PLEASE sign this petition, share amongst friends, pages and animal welfare groups.

WE NEED TO STOP INTRA CARDIAC EUTHANASIA ON CONSCIOUS ANIMALS!

Thank you.

Good evening everyone ,
I sent a official complaint to the Veterinary Council of Ireland for gross professional misconduct .
After Lexi was brutally euthanised by heart stick / intra cardiac euthanasia .
The Veterinary Council of Ireland has confirmed the vet in question will NOT face disciplinary action
It is a very dark day for animal rights and welfare in Ireland .
Shame on the Veterinary Council of Ireland .
Animals are going to continue to suffer in Ireland !!!
