Taking a sample of veterinary Nembutal for testing
This packaging is designed so that variable amounts of the drug can be withdrawn from the 100ml bottle using a syringe and hypodermic needle without breaking the sterile seal. Although there is no need for the Nembutal to be sterile when used to provide a peaceful death, the drug keeps longer if the seal is not damaged and the solution of Nembutal remains sterile. The bottle should only be opened by breaking the seal and removing the rubber stopper when the drug is either to be used or discarded.
