Drowning fails the "humane" test.
What is the weapon that ARW is planning to use? I think anything air driven will have to be a reasonable bore and at or near the top of the allowed power range to be considered "humane" on the back fo the head of a cat.
And cat food doesn't have "use by" or "best before" date on it.
But yes that is what cats do. It's what the pitiful, sodden, half frozen, flea and lice ridden ball of black fluff did to the rest of the family, about 7 years ago.
I tolerate The Cat. They'd be alright if they made sure anything brought in was dead and eat all of it. They didn't vomit anywhere they felt like. They are clever enough to (ask as well) go out side or use a tray to crap/piss. WTF can't they do the same for vomit?
just having a go at those who have a wrong idea of the law because of what their subconscious has decided it is because they think it should be.
But not according to the law.Just a guide.
That is not considered humane, if the animal is conscious.
Might get away with that one. Similar to mashing the brain with bolt gun.
See slitting throat, same thing just a bigger cut.
One ought to be able to argue that a commercial gassing product intended for similar sized mammals would be humane. But you'd get caught for not using the product as per its approvals.
Under religious based exemptions.
could you direct me to a list of "appropriate" mandated methods? Or any law mentioning "appropriate methods.
As with all government guidance, following it provides a good defence if prosecuted.
You yourself quoted the law that mentions being appropriate: Section 4 (4) of The Animal Welfare Act 2006. As for what that means, English law does not make a habit of mandating such things. It leaves it to the Courts to decide in individual cases, but they will normally be guided by what is usual practice.
I and my ex-wife co-own a flat that we let out. The tenant is moving out at the end of June. ie Today. She took the last week of June off work to redecorate the flat, and is now complaining that she's wasted a week off work that she took off specifically to redecorate the flat. The occupied flat. The flat that is occupied until this evening.
She's also complained that the building site next door "looks like a building site", that the corner of the site where the builders pile up their rubbish "looks like somebody's piling up rubbish", that ceiling electrical fittings that are not fixed in place because the ceiling plaster is drying "are a mess" and the filler foam that's still setting "is a bodge".

Can see why you like her so much ;-)
On 30 Jun 2014, "Rod Speed" grunted:
What does an anaesthetic overdose do other than have the 'patient' not wake up again?
You can only kill your cat if you intend to eat it afterwards?

That is the key. I don't see much difference between a spring action bolt gun used in an abatior and suitablly powerful weapon (air or firearm) used in a similar manner. In the case of the firearm there maybe offences under the firarms stuuf but that has SFA to do with "unnecessary suffering".
As for the RSPCA, they really f***ed up messing about at a dock and export of live sheep the other year. Made the sheep to be offloaded at the dock into an unsuitable area as the dock had no facilties for handling live animals. Such a facilty was not that far away. Several sheep fell into a drain, and had to be destroyed, but again no proper facilties. This destruction was carried out with the other sheep present. Ended up with forty odd sheep being destroyed due to the stress and panic that the offoad caused.

You would have to be able to show "beyond reasonable doubt" that "no unnecessary suffering" occurred.

AOL or perhaps for a more sociable/sick animal an enclosed cardboard box and shotgun at a range to give a spread of shot over the target area.
I think you missed the bit about 'in the comfort of its own home'. As I have pointed out elsewhere, my vet does home visits for euthanasia.
Guilty 'til proven innocent, you mean. The onus on the prosecution is to show that a crime has occurred. I don't see how any prosecution can succeed without that first hurdle being overcome.
So would mine, and for free but I would not waste his time effort and money.
