littlefish 571 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Realistically speaking - what is the outcome of using a captive bolt gun on a dog - instant death/unconsciousness or some protracted affair? If it was the safest/quickest way to do it under the circumstances, perhaps it was the best option? I don't see it as cruel to humanely destroy dogs which are unwanted or dangerous,I see is as just dealing with an unfortunate man made problem. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 46,217 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 What is cruel about putting down unwanted or dangerous dogs? The problem lies in their oversupply and overbreeding not in their destruction. (Don't get me wrong I have very little respect for them as a charity but in this case they are not being cruel - they are removing a problem created by idiots). Brilliant post matey, and your bang on. Not just dogs, but all "pet" animals like horses, cats etc.........if people bred less and culled more it would be a safer place for humans and a better place for pets in general. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chid 6,439 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Taxman+to+probe+dog+killer-a0148295119 Apparently, Smith informed Environment Agency officers that he had been providing this service to many in the racing greyhound industry for more than 10 years. (That will explain some of the annual disappearance of 10,000 ex-racing greyhounds.) Dogs were dispatched with a blow to the head from a captive bolt gun and then (and this was his downfall), Smith buried them in his one-acre garden. He was content to advise the same officers that it would take about three years to fill the garden, then he would start at the beginning again. Most reasonable people would expect to discover that he was fined for animal cruelty. But no, he was not. Was he fined, then, for impersonating a vet? After all, one might have presumed that it is only vets, in light of their training, who are allowed to euthanase dogs. But no, he was not. Was he then fined for firearms offences? No. After investigation by the RSPCA RSPCA (in Britain) Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals RSPCA n abbr (Brit) (= Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) → SPA f and the police, it turns out that nothing he was doing was illegal. Except that he buried the waste on his ground. It therefore took a private prosecution by the Environment Agency to get a conviction when Smith admitted a single charge under Pollutions Prevention and Control. Stunning, isn't it?
