Science - Livestock / Animal Husbandry / Type of euthanasia
English term or phrase: timely euthanasia
I am looking for the FR term for a type of euthanasia (for my PhD connected to euthanasia-related strain among animal health care professionals).
"Timely euthanasia" is different from "compassionate euthanasia" (aiming to end animal' suffering due to being old or sick) and from "objectionable euthanasia" (the killing of animals without health or behavioral issues) which is 'euthanasie de convenance' in FR.
The term "timely euthanasia" is mostly seen among livestock veterinary documents, procedures, etc. For example here: https://www.aasv.org/documents/2016EuthRec-EN.pdf

Any suggestions?
Merci!

A timely event happens at a moment when it is useful, effective, or relevant.
...
adjective, adverbWord forms: -lier or -liest
1. at the right or an opportune or appropriate time
2. an archaic word for early"

So, it doesn't necessarily mean quick, but that it is done at the right time: neither too soon, nor with unnecessary delay.

neutral  Lionel-N: early ?
2 hrs

disagree  Daryo: your ref is about those animals used for testing that would be anyway euthanized later => unsurprisingly it means "too early" // it's a different context - can't apply the same logic to say a racing horse or to a pet.
9 hrs

disagree  Eliza Hall: Timely means at the right time or on time. Précoce means early or too early.

euthanasie rapide


Explanation:
"Timeliness of Euthanasia

When a pig becomes ill, injured, or otherwise disadvantaged, the initial decision for action may include treatment or euthanasia. In some cases, euthanasia may be the best option for the well-being of the pig. While not all individuals may be responsible for conducting euthanasia, everyone on the farm should take action to ensure a timely response. It is important that the decision to euthanize is made in a timely manner to minimize the pig’s pain or distress. "

agree  Lionel-N
1 hr

disagree  Daryo: I can't see how you managed to equate "timely" with "rapide"// there could be an overlap between "right now" and "when it's right" but "timely" = "because it's the right time" - that "right time" being "as soon as soon as the signs shows"
7 hrs
  -> look at the extract : "timely" is used with the meaning of "as soon as soon as the signs show", so yes, "rapide".

disagree  Lionel-N: Aucune réf. sur "euthanasie en temps opportun"; "timely" est à comprendre come "ASAP" et non au moment opportun. Il ne s'agit pas de traduire "timely" mais "timely euthanasia"
2 days 17 hrs
  -> "Timely" absolutely does not mean "ASAP"! Indeed, "untimely" often means too soon, e.g. "an untimely death" is never used to mean that death was delayed too long, even though that would be a possible meaning.// "Timely" retains its normal meaning"

The definition of “timely” is:
• Animals that are showing no improvement or having no prospect for
improvement after two days of intensive care should be humanely
euthanized, unless there are special circumstances.
• Severely injured or non-ambulatory pigs with the inability to recover
should be euthanized immediately.

neutral  Daryo: it's no use finding the right reference if you are going to misinterpret it: "The definition of “timely” is ..." contradicts your own disagree i.e. it's not a question of doing it "quickly" but "when it's the right time"
17 hrs
  -> Daryo, le problème ici n'est pas de traduire "timely" mais "timely euthanasia" qui, dans le domaine de l'élevage s'appelle "Euthanasie rapide" alors que "euthanasie en temps opportun" n'existe nul part. De plus, l'asker est Canadienne, comme mes refs !!!
