Activators for Blitz Kerner Captive Bolt Slaughter Device

The Blitz-Kerner Captive Bolt Slaughter Device can be used without a firearms license to humanely slaughter animals of different sizes ranging from pigs to bulls. A retracting bolt instead of a bullet is fired into the head of an animal. Instructions for use are included with the device. However, it is recommended that this device be used in the presence of a veterinarian or the operator attend a veterinary course on how to use this device. 

Please make sure to use the correct activator. Different activators are used depending on the size of the animal. We recommend that your veterinarian advise the best type of captive bolt for each animal.
