And over time, even more horrible way - shot preparation "Detilen" paralyzing the animal and causing him infernal pain. Distraught half-dead dogs were taken to "shelter" in a special room where they beat over the head with an iron rod (while blood flowed in a special pit), hung from the ceiling on an iron hook, and then - to live yet - disrupted skin
