[Rabbit Wringer]

Hmmm....all three negative posts are from people at S and S poultry, and are members of yahoo meat rabbits list too.

Go figure!

You aren't telling the whole story, for the other BYC members there is quite a bit of drama, finger pointing and threatened legal action that goes along with this. Sharon will post the details it's an interesting read.

For the record, I am the rabbit dispatcher here and if this device were given to me free of charge and for free shipping I wouldn't take it and use it. 21 years of raising meat rabbits.

Sal this is a quote from you on your device

"I had a couple of "not so good" trials, one of them is seen
in my last video on the second to last rabbit. I was getting too
complacent.

Thanks, Sal

So by your own admission the device does not work every time. I am not starting an arguement here but there is 2 sides to every story. I know that Sal is trying to sell his device and there is nothing wrong with that, it just seems the device still have some issues that need to be worked out. The people on that group that tested it have been raising rabbits for a long time. More then Pamela tested it and did not give it a great review. But as Pamela always says you need to have a quick backup plan no matter which way you dispatch rabbits.
And yes there is 2 new devices out on the market both of them are similar. Last point would be that everyone is not the same and each one out there needs to decide which way works best for them and their sitution.
Good luck Sal on your device.

The word "trials" refers to my first attempts at using the device. I have since perfected my technique, as have many others.

When learning to hammer a nail into a piece of wood, do you give up after a few tries, or keep going until you can hit the nail on the head every time. The occasional miss happens even to the most skilled carpenter.

hammering a nail doesn't result in a painfull death of a meat animal, It's the processers job to do a quick, humain dispatch, don't you think so? I think that is enough said on that subject.

"painful death" just doesn't happen with the device. The animal never suffers, and always dies fast, humanely.
