I said it was a HORRIBLE death!

I guess I should have said that it was also more effective than Coyote

poison as semi-wild dogs will get wise to the poison. I was merely pointing
out that if a dog needs to be put down and you can not SHOOT it. Antifreeze
would work.

Correct. It was dumped in a ditch and our dog drank some of it while we are
out hunting. By the time we noticed his symptoms and took him to the vet 40+
miles away it was too late. Very painful to the dog.
