One day a woman brought in a big alsation that went beserk, they finally got it jammed in the doorway, and a young copper was sent with the humane killer (a Cash Captive Bolt Pistol), he was so nervous that he flinched, and the bolt ripped across the dogs head, the woman started screaming the place down, I took the pistol of him, reloaded it, and did the job properly, they closed the place down not long after.
Now you have to take them to the vet.

I know about that contraption. I had to repair it when I worked on the council. It was a horrible piece of work
