As awful as it is the method used, the sad truth is that thousands of animals are euthanized all over the world every day (by many means). This just goes to show how important it is that every person do their part by spaying/neutering, educating people about responsible pet ownership, discouraging the use of animals for 'back yard' breeding, and the 'just one litter' mentality. Until we can get the rest of the world to realize how serious the pet overpopulation problem is, things like this will continue to go on day after day whether done humanely or not. Sad truth of our times and people's ignorance and lack of responsible pet ownership.
