Method Apparently around 20 veterinarians use Nembutal to end their lives each year

Just goes to show you relatively how many people choose a peaceful way out if they have access to it.

One drug is linked to 18 vet suicides per year, but it doesn't have to be stored in a locked container

An inquest into the deaths of two young vets who took a drug linked to almost 20 suicides per year within the industry urges better mental health support for veterinary professionals.

If I was a vet I would stock some for myself for sure. It should be more accesible.

As do their wives. I know people who are either vets or married to them (& yes, I've already tried asking directly/ inventing a fictitious sick pony in the other case). Both are wholly aware of the benefits & theyre not sharing.

Those who left this world are lucky. I envy them. I'm surprised that more vets don't decide to ctb. I don't understand why they would choose to carry on with a stressful job when they have access to N. But it really is unfair how animals get the option of a peaceful death and this is accepted by society yet humans are expected to just suffer until old age. I really dislike this society that tries to force people to live.

Time to start studying...

Maybe if someone could dig up a little dirt on a local veterinarian, they could be convinced to share a little of their precious juice.

Don't put the pets to sleep, put me to sleep

It appears that this might end up being my preferred method. I just wish the possibility of surviving and losing functionality didn't exist.

However, this is always the case.

Well, my fear is that even dogs may lose their right to die... What is wrong with these people?

"We can't completely exclude access but we try to limit it as much as possible,"

Tks, god.

And how about the mental health of the professionals? Such a thing exist(pretense) only when someone commits suicide...
