安楽死を考える上で一番重要な概念がQuality of Life (QoL)です。概念の内容は複雑で文章に表し難いのでウィキペディア等にお任せしたいのですが、要はその動物の人生の質(ヒトではなくても人生と表記させてもらいます)や生活の質、総合的な幸福度・満足度を指します。「幸福」という概念は非常に複雑で様々な事柄を考慮しなくてはなりません。
RSPCA Australia recognises the need to control introduced species, such as the fox, to reduce both environmental and agricultural impacts. However, we argue that the control methods used should be as humane as possible. The available evidence on the effect of 1080 on affected species indicates that it is not a humane poison.
