Guest guest Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 The Royal SPCA of Great Britain experimented with electrocuting animals from approximately 1885 until about 1928, before concluding that it could never be considered acceptably humane by British standards. They then exported the six Royal SPCA electrocution machines to India, during a rabies panic in the early 1930. Dogs were legally electrocuted in India until the last of these machines known to remain in India was dismantled in 1997. Dogs continued to be illegally electrocuted in the city of Visakhapatnam until 1998. One of the RSPCA electrocution machines ended up in Pakistan after the national partition in 1949, I believe in Hyderabad, and may still be in use. -- Merritt Clifton Editor, ANIMAL PEOPLE P.O.
