Splinter was rushed to the Dongara Veterinary Clinic but died before arriving.
Jurien Bay Police allegedly seized seven rifles, a shotgun, ammunition and drug paraphernalia from the man's home.
He has been charged with a string of offences including animal cruelty, possessing unlicensed firearms and discharging a firearm to the danger of the public.
