@Dubikan @kakape My guess would be that euthanasia requires a high bar for recommending, and a high bar for validating the method. A clinical trial of euthanasia on whales would be nigh impossible, so I would guess we don't have an approved method.

@iris @kakape hmmm... It looks like it's been done before, but clearly it's never a great experience for anyone involved, and probably looks very bad on camera, which may have been part of the consideration. https://www.theguardian.com/science/blog/2014/feb/19/whale-euthanasia-vets-kill-stranded-leviathans-humanely
