He was being used in an experiment where I used to work. They were through with him. I got him as they were about to put him to sleep.

What does were through with him mean? And does put him to sleep mean kill him? Thanks

"To put (an animal) to sleep" is a euphemism for "to put it down", to kill it humanely.
