In Kentucky, the law specifies how, when, and by whom an animal can be euthanized and the drugs used are strictly regulated by both the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Kentucky Board of Veterinary Examiners. It’s important to know your responsibility as both an individual and an agency.
