lambsey Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 I've been asked earlier today by a vet friend of mine to go on there register for humain despatch. To assist in the despatch of mainly farm animals. My question is, do i need to inform my local police and will i need extra insurance, apart from the usual shooting insurance(BASC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 As I understand it............ Your licence would have to be worded to cover your back, so the question regarding notifying the police depends on what is already written. Generally speaking if it is not specified on your licence you can't do it. I have heard others argue the reverse of this which is utter bo11ocks. So shooting say a sheep could jeopardise your ticket. Seeing as you can demonstrate "good reason" then there is no reason not to clarify and request any alteration from the appropriate force. I would seek their advice and then you are in the clear. Maybe ask at the same time what their advice is to others in such circumstance regarding insurance or alternatively your current insurance provider, BASC, NGO etc. A friend has the authority for this and it is worded something like "and the humane despatch of animals with regard to the management of the estate" Hope this helps.

JC275 Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Can't comment on the legal side of this but, if you go ahead, I recommend that you get hold of a copy of the Humane Slaugther Associations booklet on Humane dispatch using Firearms. Very useful and well presented booklet. JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Good point JC. After a quick trawl found this which I presume is what you were referring to. http://www.hsa.org.uk/Resources/General%20pubs%20list.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC275 Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 They're the people, looks like the booklet is £5.00 but it might be included in a DVD package for £22.00, not sure, I might give them a call to check this. I'll let you know what I find out. JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
