i hope this is ok here if not please move
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 told the son to find places for the dogs or they would deal with them. They deemed these dogs un-homeable, had bad mange and too aggressive. No vets, behaviourists or rescues were called by the RSPCA to even try to help the dogs. 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 said themselves that this is terrible for the inspectors as it is nasty, messy, and smelly. 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.
Only a lethal injection is the kind way to destroy a dog.

I once saw a dog wirithing about in the back of an RSPCA van at a livestock market. The RAPCA inspector saw us lookinfg in the van and explained that he had just put it to sleep. Now, we have had several dogs put to sleep by vets to end suffering, but never have they writhed. they always go quietly to sleep.
I can understand if these dogs were not used to handling they may have been difficult to inject, but this sounds like a horrible death. |

Just signed petition!!
Quarabian, you may well find that the dog hadn't been injected via a vein, but into the chest cavity, or one of the chambers of the heart.. both extremely painful ways to euthanize any animal and shouldn't be used if the animal is conscious. |

| I once held a little dog for one of my old ladys i care for he was sedated the vet injected him a couple of times but he would not give in so she injectedd him into the heart and eventially he gave in even though its not nice he never felt anything if the rspca inspector had sedated the dog first then he would not have been writting in pain its disgusting in this day and age dogs dont need to suffer when pts no matter what way is chosen surely |
