We used “sac’ed” or “euth” interchangably. When training new students I use “kill” to hammer in how serious this is. The department head isn’t happy with it, but I had him watch me with a 16 year old boy. The kid’s enthusiasm about “dealing death” to mice made him realise that blunt language may be necessary. (I was also trying to get the sick little fucker out of the lab.)
We are tranistioning to a tissue digestor. I hear that its the “latest thing” :rolleyes:. Right now, bodies are autoclaved and taken to the dump. Some carcasses are given to the local raptor rehabilitation center, but they have to be very, very “clean” - no chemicals, genetic manipulations, etc.
