Wouldn't NO2 work too at similar cost? Or Helium?
NO works better, because it doesn't cause a feeling of asphyxiation.
helium is expensive af, so it's not an option. (it's also basically non-renewable and we're probably running out of helium in the medium-to-far future...so not a good idea)
Yes... I know. I thought from the perspective of someone who is willing to kill his pet with makeshift solutions, the helium scarcesty won't be No 1 priority.
I thought maybe NO2 (Laughing Gas) would be more humane.
