Putting an animal out it's Misery

    I had to do this once after I knocked the poor ****er down in navan. I tried to strangle it first but couldn't kill him. Two belts of the wheel brace and it was lights out.

    That sounds more awful for the dog than contacting(and waiting for) an emergency vet to come out.

    Yes but it wasn't my dog and I didn't know any vets in navan. This was back in the day before mobile phones the the dogs leg was clearly broke.

    People who own cats should be familiar with this as they often bring half dead animals into the home.

    so, you bite its neck, snap the spinal cord and then swallow the animal whole, starting at the head?

    You hit it over the head twice with a wheel brace?:eek: because its leg was broken :confused::D
    Jeez, doesnt that make a mess? surely a broken leg is fixable? Id have doubts about bringing someone else animal to a vet but Im not sure Id finish them off like that.

    If I ran over a dog or cat and saw that it was gone past getting a vet then yeah, the wheel brace would come out fairly lively.

    wheel brace sounds fairly brutal, wheel braces arent as heavy duty as they used to be either I dont think.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 138 ✭✭nilsonmickey


    The one I had was fairly heavy. The head split open on the first rap.

    I don't think I could, when I was a kid there was a mouse caught in a trap in my mams house but the trap didn't kill it.
    I felt so sorry for him he was only a baby so I released it from the trap and it was all squished down the middle, I put it in a box in the garden and put a saucer of milk and some bread in with it which was actually pretty cruel considering the only movement it could make was bobbing its head up and down so really I prolonged it's misery.

    A dog can survive a broken leg.

    I stomped on the head of a rabbit that had its neck all mangled after being attacked by dogs, snapped the neck of another after it too was attacked by dogs.

    Yes but he couldn't survive a wheel brace to the face.

    There is a method of garroting with a wire or rope that brings death swiftly, obviously your average person has no idea how to do it. Like Galwayguy said earlier in the thread it's usually men with a hunting background who can perform these tasks without prolonging the suffering of the stricken animal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,046 ✭✭✭martinedwards


    how much is the vet going to cost for someone elses dog?

    sorry, but as my driving instructor said, "if it's mammy loved it, it wouldn't be on the road in the first place"

    easy decision.

    wheelbrace.

    Wasn't there a famous conversation from 'School Around the Corner' years ago where some kid had spent his summer holidays on a farm. The child was asked had it been exciting, and after replying yes, detailed how a horse had been injured - conversation went something along the lines of;

    Child - "A horse fell into a hole on the farm and was injured and couldn't move".

    Host - "So what did they do?"

    Child - "They shot it."

    Host - "In the hole?"

    Child - "No, in the head."

    :pac:

    Not a chance could I bash a dying creature over the head with a wheelbrace for goodness knows how many times. I don't know what I'd do. If it were 1am, bringing it to the vet isn't an option. As said, moving it could make it worse anyway. Probably stay with it until it died.

    I'm not against that. If its quick.
    My post was to the guy above, which was clearly brutal and awful way to kill an animal.

    Not true, the majority of vets have emergency numbers, and are generally very quick to come out, in out of hours, no matter what the out of hours time is.

    (I have had alot of pets, more times than I'd like, I've had to call a vet in the middle of the night. You get a vet quicker out than the shannon doc, tbh.)

    I know this is AH you may be trying to be funny but still, bragging about caving in a dogs head is pretty piss poor tbh.

    Reverse back over it

    Well, he's had it in for me ever since I kinda ran over his dog.Well, replace the word "kinda" with the word "repeatedly," and the word "dog" with "son."
