Hi, question for firearm experts. I had to put down a 150-lb goat who was suffering. I tried holding her head up and aimed between her eyes with a CZ 512 22LR rifle. The rifle was rusty but did discharge after some WD-40. (The following round got was bent and lodged in the chamber.) Unfortunately I missed and hit the goat in the chest straight down into the sternum area. Either she moved her head, or I moved the barrel, or the gun misfired. She was suffering even more and coughing up blood. I then put her in a chokehold around her neck that I learned from jiujitsu. Her heart beat 4 more times until stopping.
Question, where do you think the bullet lodged? How could this be done better in the future so as not to cause unnecessary suffering? I had a 9mm pistol but hesitated to use it as the bullet might have exited and hit something else in the barn.
