CDOW: On second thought, don't freeze frogs
The Colorado Division of Wildlife has reversed a public statement appearing in a recent press release recommending that unwanted exotic frogs, fish and salamanders should be euthanized by placing them in freezers as an alternative to releasing them into the environment. Responding to the press release, the American Veterinarian Medical Association announced it does not consider freezing reptiles and amphibians to be humane, prompting the agency to apologize for "suggesting an inappropriate method of euthanasia."
