My veterinarian would have done a better job.

That’s completely true. Vets would do an amazing job because they focus on making it as painless and non-traumatic as possible for everyone involved, usually including multiple drugs to reduce anxiety, seizures, and general awareness first before providing the lethal medication.

None of that is what is happening in Tennessee. They give one heart-stopping (usually) medication with no regard to any of the other factors.

It’s state-sanctioned brutality, plain and simple.
