In Brazil, dogs are pushed into a decompression chamber and asphyxiated to death. In Argentina, stray dogs are terminated with poison. In India, wandering street dogs are electrocuted and buried; some are merely rendered unconscious and buried alive. In Europe and North America, unwanted dogs are what is euphemistically called "put to sleep," but many healthy canines are unjustifiably lined up for extermination.
在巴西，狗兒被推入減壓室內窒息而亡；阿根廷則以劇毒消除棄犬；印度街頭流浪狗通常被電擊後土葬，甚至擊昏後即進行活埋；在歐美，流浪犬雖美其名為安樂死，但許多健康狗其實莫名其妙走入枉死城。
