John doesn't quite understand that once the animals are "surrendered" their legal status is no longer an issue. The country of origin is asked if they want them back but if that country "surrenders" them to the Department holding them that Department can do with them whatever they please...legally.
And yes, euthanasia is one form they frequently use, especially if nobody wants them or they are a heavily regulated ( not necessarily rare in captivity) species like Radiated Tortoises which makes them more difficult to place!
