Then all consciousness of trouble left her, she was no longer tortured, she bowed herself to the ground in a painless trance, becoming a pure, unsullied flame of self-consuming love.

Alors, elle ne sentait plus rien, son corps ne lui faisait plus mal. Elle était ravie à la terre, agonisant sans souffrance, devenant une pure flamme qui se consumait d'amour.

As described by the American Veterinary Medical Association (2007), the application of best practices "ensures that when an animal's life is taken, it is done ... with an emphasis on making the death as painless and distress free as possible.

Selon l'American Veterinary Médical Association (2007), c'est en appliquant les meilleures pratiques que l'euthanasie d'un animal est la moins douloureuse et la moins stressante possible.
