Maybe you're familiar with the 19th century experiments by a Russian Behaviorist, who studied drowning rodents in his laboratory. Their final minutes were easy to empathize with, as their reactions were uncomfortably similar to what a human would feel.

But I suspect FLL drowned the squirrel within the trap, so the squirrel died of asphyxiation—no worse than the suffocation that outdoor cats deliver to their victims.

Still better than the "Bucket of Death" here: https://www.winnipesaukee.com/forums...ad.php?t=23810

Except that I wouldn't want FLL to accidentally hurt himself (or get bitten), faster methods of euthanasia can be located at builders of "miniatures":
