mercy killing/euthanasia (for laboratory rats)

http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://w...

Hello Aki,
My guess, putting it succinctly, are the words "mercy killing." Please check out the website above where they describe mercy killing methods for lab rats.

I've heard "euthanasia" used more prevalently for humans but "mercy killing" can be used equally for both humans and animals.

What an incredible, intriguing, gruesome combination of characters you have there!

Thank you, Aki-san! :-)

agree casey : I think euthanasia is okay. I have heard of animals being euthanized.

Thank you, Casey! And, thank you about your having heard it with animals too. :-)
agree Will Matter : I have a friend who did some of the groundbreaking research related to Karposi's sarcoma, he worked at JHU in the mid-80's. When he was a lab tech he had to decapitate rats, in this fashion, in order to have whole, intact brains that could be studied.

Thank you will. That is interesting about your friend's research. I had never associated mercy killing with lab animals. It all seemed so cruel to me.
neutral KathyT : While 'euthanasing' describes the overall concept, the method def. needs specifying 4 pharma. research reports, etc. // Hi Joyce. Actually, 'mercy-killing' prob. refers more 2 euth'ing terminally ill pets eg. when Rover's suffering from final-stage cancer

Hi Kathy. The reason I used that was because a succinct expression was requested in this case. And, thank you for sharing the "fellow with the most points" - outrageously awesome!

FYI

断頭死と放血死は別々のことです。これは動物実験法によって定められている。
HUMANE DEATH　by　Decapitation　or Exsanguination

death by decapitation and exsanguination

Hi Aki-san,

I don't think we have a single word for this, but you can say the rats were killed/sacrificed by decapitation and exsanguination.
OK, I have to go throw up now. Excuse me...

Hi Aki-san,
No problem. However, I would like to add that if you are translating a pharmaceutical research report, you really need to specify the method of euthanasing the rats. 'Mercy-killing' is nowhere near specific enough, and is certainly unlikely to be found in a lab report. There are many different ways that lab animals are euthanased, depending on their age, what they are required for, etc. Please google around and you will see that actually "CO2 inhalation is the most common method of euthanasia used for adult mice, rats, guinea pigs and hamsters." So unless you specify the method, the readership may assume you mean CO2. However, for example, neonate mice less than 14days old don't die as efficiently, hence the need for other methods, such as cervical dislocation, decapitation, exsanguination, or a combination of these methods (which are also commonly used on adult specimens). Additionally, these methods may be carried out with or without anaesthesia, depending.
Anyway, good luck, Aki-san!

Aki-san,
"The rats were euthanased by decapitation and exsanguination" or
"The rats were sacrificed by decapitation and exsanguination," etc.

Kathy-san, Thank you so much for your input. I will go with Joyce-san's answer at this time. But your references are very helpful. I will thank you again.
Dear Kathy-san, Thank you so much for your input. I will go with Joyce-san's answer at this time. But your references are very helpful. I thank you again.
I see. Then, I will go with the combined answer. The rats were put euthanasia by decapitation and exsanguination. Do you think it is fine?
Kathy-san, Thank you so much for your help. I will go with "The rats were euthanased by decapitation and exsanguination." I will thank you again.
Peer comment(s):
agree Naikei Wong : right, Kathy... I like the expression "sacrifice" when I first came across it.... but in actual fact, it's always done without a single grain of emotion... try searching "rat, sacrificed humanely"
3時間
Thanks, Naikei.
agree Will Matter : Typical lab procedure & the reason that it is done 'w/o a single grain of emotion' is so that researchers can manage to get to sleep at night. If you must know, a small guillotine-like device is used & death is quick & painless.

Right, or sharp surgical scissors for the neonates/fetuses.
