Euthanasia techniques for small and large cetaceans .: Fs70-6/2014-046E-PDF

"Several circumstances may require the euthanasia of a cetacean: stranding, entanglement in fishing gear, entrapment in ice, significant injury of a free-swimming cetacean from ship-strike, or a terminally ill animal in a captive situation. However, the most common situation is the presence of a severely debilitated, ill, or injured cetacean that has stranded in shallow water or on shore."--Summary.
