Freezer is a cruel way to die. It could take minutes for something to die.
You might as well start cutting body parts off if you want it to die slow
and painfully. Humane would be a shot. The animal has suffered enough, why
let it suffer more sitting in a freezer alive while it takes the minutes to
lower its metabolism rate to the point where the animal is finally rendered
unconscious and hopefully dead?
