next we will be told a 30oz stanley isnt humaine enough for the wee poor critters!!!!!
Not sure which is worse the SPCA reaction or the people on Faceplant :sick:
What is much worse is DoC and OSPRI poison regimes.

There is SOME technique involved in dispatching an animal with a club, not everyone will instinctively do this well therefore.
And... IN FAIRNESS TO THE SPCA...,The SPCA has spoken out about 1080 and labelled THAT as animal cruelty.
This thread belongs in Campfire humour....
Manys the jacko ive dispatched with a hefty thump between the ears from a leadhead studded lump of 4x2 and death was instantaneous.
this article also shows the simpering triteness of faecesbook and the equally sensationalist MSM reporter.bet he or she was quiivering with anticipation showing theirwee writeup to a xslobby drooling editor.
4x4tyre ,12g,.303.22 alleffective at sending the wee aussie import into the everlasting rimu forest.
i have known a couple of spca people (one senior one) neither would have had an issue with dispatching the possum providing it was done humanely. its not like the guy covered it in petrol and lit it, he quickly dispatched it back to the land of the eucalyptus

SPCA got involved, prosecuted, the guy got off as he'd clobbered the dog in the head with a hammer before dispatching it (whichever way he did it - may have stuck it). The blow to the head was considered to have anaesthetised the dog and thus whatever way he killed it subsequent to that was considered irrelevant in terms of animal suffering.
I believe the key question in terms of the law is whether one has causes deliberate animal suffering, not simply animal suffering.
"But the SPCA said people need to get in touch with an expert if they find any injured wild animals, rather than take matters into their own hands"
I didn't realise they had the monopoly on knocking a possum on the bonce? Every week it seems the SPCA becomes more and more lunatic fringe.
A bit off topic, but I thort keeping possum's as pets wasn't allowed as they are noxious pests? I realize reality and rules don't always coinside tho.

years back i saw a cat get run over, guts squished and in agony out and so i did the humane thing. i dont think even the owner would have complained at me doing it (and i certainly didnt enjoy doing it either)
speaking of possums I probably should have kept this one [ATTACH]106385[
What denotes an expert? Ive killed hundreds if not thousands of the poor wee blighters over the years. Probably far more experienced than the local town vet....
Same here. A kitten got part squashed by my boss's ute, I caught it and put it's lights out with a lump of wood. Any slower solution would be a lot of pain for the poor wee thing.Quote:

I actually asked a biologist mate about this over a few beers and im inclined to agree this bugger may well have suffered from the possumic equivalent of giantism- did he have aches pains gender issues joint deformity ,was he left wing...dunno a dynapoint 40gm .22 round stopped the verbals before they started! Twas a STIRLING effort are these albinos a gentic deviation or a geneticv throwback -be bloody interesting to find out before theyre all fucked by 1080 weetbixQuote:

It is a very long time ago but I think I am correct when I say that the first animals that I saw killed were kittens despatched by a hammer blow to the head and I do not for a moment believe that making an animal wait it agony while you first find and then seek the advice of a so called expert in humane killing would be preferential to killing the animal quickly no matter how ham fisted a go of it you might make of it. Where do these rainbow snowflakes come from?
Safe to say they're not country folk.Quote:
