It's not a good idea because your city would then be full of poisoned food and dead decomposing dog corpses.
If you do live where the city or country doesn't have centres that humanely kill strays and/or the government doesn't have a protocol for dealing with them, get some thick boots, a strong stick and hope you don't run into one of the 10+-strong packs that roam certain neighbourhoods.
In case there's a stray dog that's aggressive towards people and lives near your home and you definitely positively must put it down, a common humane poison is antifreeze - it first induces drowsiness, then stops the heart. A pretty literal "put to sleep".
- atwebb 13y agoThat turned dark and specific very quickly, thanks?
- hornbaker 13y agoI'm a DVM, and you're mistaken about antifreeze. It causes kidney failure over a period of several days, leading to a slow, agonizing death while toxins normally filtered out by the kidneys build up in the bloodstream. The dogs with antifreeze toxicity that I attempted to treat were quite obviously suffering.
- nnq 13y ago...please don't post poisoning advice on a public forum ever again, you never know what use can these be put to :) ...even more so if your facts are wrong!
