40. As clarification,

The gold reference standard for humane euthanasia is the report of the American Veterinary Medical Association panel on Euthasnasia. The latest version (2000) is found here:

<http://www.avma.org/resources/euthanasia.pdf>

Drowning is NOT humane.
Injection with Euthanol (sodium pentabarbitol) is. It was initially developed as an anasthetic agent for people. When too many people were dying under anasthesia it was decertified and it's some remaning use (as far as I know) iss humane euthanasia of animals.
