Euthanasia
P o sitio n Statem ent – OVM A
OVMA supports policies to ensure that all animals find permanent homes as euthanasia is not
an acceptable means of population control. However, when necessary, OVMA believes
euthanasia must be performed humanely by properly trained individuals.
OVMA adopts the AVMA Guidelines for the Euthanasia of Animals to be used as a
guideline for veterinarians.
