No matter how an animal dies ( unless sedated I guess) there is convulsing and whatnot. Death is almost always an uncomfortable process and there's not much you can do about it besides make it quick. By the time all the convulsions hit the brain is usually dead anyway I guess. I'm not saying this is the best way, I don't know much about it, but no matter the method life does not go easy.

Gassing involves throwing as many animals as possible (and most shelters do mix dogs & cats) into a little box, shutting the lid, then turning the gas on. Not exactly "quick".

Perhaps I've been lucky but I've seen quite a few euthanasia's and they have always been extremely peaceful.
