Rodents might not be a great model. We know from a variety of sources that humans can’t really sense excess nitrogen or hypoxic air: industrial accidents, diving experiments, even astronauts.
However, rodents may be able to sense hypoxia a bit better than we do: experiments found that rodents presented a choice would avoid a hypoxic chamber. Guinea pigs may not be the humane animal model here.
A hypoxic chamber does sound like one of the less painful ways to go. I’m not in favor of governments killing people, but a relatively quick loss of consciousness seems far better than getting poked with needles, electrocuted in the brain, shot with bullets, or hanged on a rope. Although I’m still expecting Alabama to screw this up somehow.

It’s not a literal guinea pig. The human is the guinea pig
The article mentioned that veterinarians don’t consider nitrogen to be humane for euthanizing animals.
I’m against the death penalty. I wish we didn’t use it since it’s vengeance and not justice.
That said, this is supposed to be much more humane.
