Help stop bolt guns being used to kill dogs (cross posted from Many Tears)
8 Answers
Because of a breeder I pick up from calling me and telling me how Richard Abbott (a local inspector of the RSPCA) boasted to her about shooting dogs; and because of my not believing this and calling him myself and having him tell me the same, and because I looked into the whole truth about these dogs being killed, and because of my sad past, I cannot let this die.
I will put my facts down (note that I have not been legally threatened or told to take these facts off my site because they are un- disputably the truth.
A man died, his wife tried to commit suicide, the son living further away collected the mum and called the RSPCA for help with 10 GSDs. The RSPCA went to a home covered in dog mess, (Richard Abbott's own words to me were "the family from hell") Then basically the RSPCA told the son to find places for the dogs or they would deal with them. The RSPCA said the son could not find rescue spaces. The RSPCA themselves called no rescue, (Including their own). They deemed these dogs un-homeable and they said the dogs had bad mange ( but never consulted a Vet). They said they were to aggressive to home (having not even tried to assess with a behaviorist). They took these 10 GSDs out individually on a grasper pole and put the muzzle of the bolt gun to the dogs head and stunning them , then placed a screwdriver or rod in the hole and pithed them whilst the dogs paddled and squired as their brain functions were mangled to kill them. The RSPCA have told various people that this is terrible for the inspectors as it is nasty, messy, and smelly. They are telling us the dogs never saw each others bodies, but hey cant dogs smell better than see anyways? Gunpowder, blood and brain matter, perhaps the first did not smell the death, but the others must have.

They tell us the inspectors are trained to do this at slaughter houses, but do you know a slaughter house that kills dogs? And, dogs have different skull shapes so experts on this matter are needed. They tell us its not done often, but then they say they are experts.
To me it does not add up, but rather then debate all the various issues - I simply do not feel that the practice of stunning dogs with a captive bolt gun and then sticking a rod through their brains to kill them is an acceptable form of euthanasia for domestic animals.
We tried everything to get them to never do this again, but they feel they are above question or criticism, so now I am asking people who agree with me to help to make it law that the bolt gun is not allowed to be used to kill dogs and that it would become punishable crime if broken. What I need is letters to The Welsh Assembly and Gordon Brown. Please do this for dogs.

I am not trying to shut the RSPCA down or fuel anti RSPCA sentiment. I just do not want dogs stunned with bolt guns followed by having pithed to death by having their brains scrambled
Please continue to support your local RSPCA branches. They are NOT the main HQ who run the inspectors who are the ones who do this terrible crime.

Kita, have you thought of starting a petition via the Downing Street site. I have searched and there isnt one on captive bolt methods to date, and you may get more interest and people to sign up that way.

I just cross posted this from Many Tears.
They are running the petitions.
I have just read their latest 'blog' - seems like they have now been banned from posting on the RSPCA facebook page and their post (like the above) has been removed.
