What method of dispatch did he use? The only time I've faced a similar incident was after seeing a duck hit by a car, my friend and I settled on a hammer to put the still writhing bird out of it's misery but, when using the claw side to drag it out of the road, the body came clean away from the head. Turns out what we took to be pain was the headless chicken effect. I was quite relieved at not to having to stove it's head in with a hammer but it's left me still unsure if my squeamishness would have got the better of me when it actually came to it.
