Cervical dislocation

Cervical dislocation

Cervical dislocation, "breaking the neck" or "snapping the spine" are terms used to describe this killing method intended to be quick and painless.[1] This is a technique used in physical euthanasia by applying pressure to the neck and dislocating the spinal column from the skull or brain.[2]

Euthanasia

According to the Canadian Council on Animal Care (CCAC), Cervical Dislocation is normally only conducted on small animals.[2] The University of Iowa and some veterinary associations, consider the technique as an ethically accepted method for terminating the life of small rodents such as rats, mice, squirrels, etc.[3]

Methodology

According to Extension the separation must take place at the base of the brain or within the upper third of the neck which is the cervical spine area."[1] YouTube demonstrates with online videos the cervical dislocation of meat rabbits.[4][5]
