Index of Subjects --001a114795769cd18505143b24dd Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I have no experience jigging squid...only picked up two in the intertidal of Pomquet beach years ago. So the only advice on humanely dispatching them comes from other sources. You could bring a cooler of ice and put them in there. I couldn't find anything in the Canadian Council of Animal Care guidelines, but they have a big site, and I may have missed it. In general, squid and their allies are treated as the most sentient of invertebrates, and are treated more like fish than lobsters, for example.
