:thumbsdown: to the people in my state who made doing exactly what you did a felony.
In other words, be aware of who you tell. Don't want to find out the local police officer is also a PETA member.

PEOPLE TAKE YOUR PETS TO THE VET FIRST.
Hope you at least knew where to shoot the animal as well as how to do it in a non-tramatic way.
fucking idiots.

relax man, you were not there, you don't know how bad it was/how it looked. Whether we took her to the vet or not, she was in a place where she had to be put down. If any of us thought that she would have had a happy life after recovering from this, then putting her down would NOT have been an option.
And I shot her twice, first in the head and second in the chest.

Douchebag. I don't care what you think you know. Don't bust into a sad thread about someone who remorsefully ended the life of a loved pet, and call them a fucking idiot.

How about taking it to the vet?

Yea, at first we were going to take it to the vet, but very quickly we realized that she was not going to make it. Once we knew for sure she was paralyzed we gave her a very low dosage opiate pain killer (a small chunk of an oxycontin).. said our goodbyes and I took her to the backyard to do the dirtywork.
I'm not much worried about a lawsuit, I mean who is going to know? Thats really terrible that they would consider this a felony in some states, I actually never knew that. (wouldn't have changed our decision to put her down though)
The cat was an indoor cat, but she roamed around outside all the time. They have a large property with about 2 acres around their home. Cat was just walking around the driveway, like many other times in the past. Just an unlucky accident this time, when his father pulled in the driveway and didn't see her.
She did purr a few times, I really believe she knew that it was the end. Its still in the back of my head bugging me, but what can you do. I still think I did the right thing though.
Just sucks losing her, she was in the family for years, was my one of my closest friends so I was over at their home often, and was quite acquainted with her, and I am upset she is gone, my friend and his family are really sad.
8:23A-1.11 Euthanasia
(a) No animal being euthanized shall be allowed to make physical contact with another animal unless pretranquilized to the extent that they are not capable of aggressive actions dangerous to humans or animals.
(b) Where standard methods of restraint are impractical or impossible (such as zoo animals, animals in severe pain from trauma, or animals that are intractable for other reasons) or where manual capture and restraint may cause pain and injury through struggling and anxiety, the use of immobilizing drugs are acceptable, except neuromuscular blocking agents as determined by N.J.S.A. 4:22-1 et seq.
(c) The acceptable methods of euthanasia include the following:
1. The primary recommended method is an intravenous injection of a barbiturate; however, an intraperitoneal or intracardiac injection may be made where intravenous injection is impractical, as in the very small animal, or in the comatose animal with depressed vascular function. Intracardiac injection is acceptable only when performed on heavily sedated, anesthetized or comatose animals. The use of neuromuscular blocking agents, as determined by N.J.S.A. 4:22-19.3, is prohibited in the animal euthanasia process.
2. Administration of injectable solutions approved for use in dogs and cats.
3. Administration of inhalant anesthetics:
i. Ether, halothane, isoflurane, enflurane, or methoxyflurane may be used. Nitrous oxide shall only be used in conjunction with other inhalant anesthetics.
ii. Acceptable for small animals such as birds, rodents, and young cats and dogs. Not recommended for larger animals.
iii. Precautions shall be taken to protect personnel and other animals from inhalant anesthetic gases. Ether is flammable and explosive. Occupational exposure to inhalant anesthetics constitutes a human health hazard.
4. Intravenous injection of combinations of chloral hydrate, magnesium sulfate and pentobarbital is acceptable for large animals, such as horses.
(d) Methods not acceptable for euthanasia include the following:
1. Hydrogen cyanide gas;
2. Injection of chloral hydrate;
3. Injection of magnesium sulfate;
4. Strychnine in any form;
5. Injection of hydrocyanic acid;
6. Electrocution;
7. Shooting and captive bolt pistol;
8. Drowning;
9. Exsanguination;
10. Decompression chambers;
11. Nitrous oxide, when used as the sole euthanasia agent;
12. Chloroform;
13. Chambers using any gas that is not an anesthetic; or
14. Neuromuscular blocking agents.
(e) All persons administering animal euthanasia shall be a New Jersey licensed veterinarian or be certified by a licensed veterinarian in the acceptable euthanasia technique or techniques used at the facility, as delineated in (c) above, in compliance with N.J.A.C. 8:65. Such documentation shall state the euthanasia substances and techniques certified for use therewith, shall be signed by the certifying veterinarian, and shall be kept on file at the facility for inspection by State or local Health authorities.
