Blitz Kerner Captive Bolt Pistol Slaughter Device Humane Euthanasia of Animals

A sad part of farming is that animals can get sick or sustain injuries from which there is no recovery.  For many farmers it is not viable or practical to call on a vet to euthanase the animal and this is where the captive bolt device comes into play.

A captive bolt device is used for safe and humane destruction of animals - from small pigs and calves to boars and bulls. A captive retracting bolt is fired into the head instead of a bullet.

The correct point for entry of the bolt is between and slightly above the eyes. 

Different strength cartridges are used for different sized animals. Instructions for use are included with the device. No gun licence is required.

It is imperative that the correct charge is used for the animal being destroyed. The shot is discharged by pressure on the trigger mechanism.

• Lightweight and easy to use
• Quick and humane when used correctly
• No gun licence required
• Different cartridges available for various size animals
• Made in Germany
