• AVMA Guidelines for the euthanasia of animals (2013, unknown): “Euthanizing large numbers of animals on a regular basis can be stressful and may result in symptoms of compassion fatigue.(123) To minimize the stress and demands of this duty, trained personnel must be assured that they are performing euthanasia in the most humane manner possible.”
