FR https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn17972-animals-feel-the-pain-of-religious-slaughter/ Johnson’s work, funded by the UK and New Zealand agriculture ministries, builds on findings in human volunteers of specific patterns of brain electrical activity when they feel pain. Recorded with electroencephalograms, the patterns were reproducible in at least eight other mammal species known to be experiencing pain. Johnson developed a way of lightly anaesthetising animals so that although they experienced no pain, the same electrical pain signals could be reliably detected, showing they would have suffered pain if awake. The team first cut calves’ throats in a procedure matching that of Jewish and Muslim slaughter methods. They detected a pain signal lasting for up to 2 minutes after the incision. When their throats are cut, calves generally lose consciousness after 10 to 30 seconds, sometimes longer. It's so sad that damn religious bullshit keep spreading lies that slitting throat is painless killing. Common sense tell you, if you wanna commit suicide, slitting your own throat is not the most painless way. It's just crazy how people believe the Muslim bullshit that their slaughtering methods are painless. Whereas I do like the logic of the stunning method. It is base on science and intercepting pain receptors, so it instantly prevent the animal from feeling pain. Same could be done to a human. Except we generally use injected anaethesia instead which is not practical for meat to be consumed. At least one Muslim organisation has admitted their methods is not humane and allow the animal to be stunned first. Muslims just need the damn brain to be alive while the animal bleeds to death. But if the stun can intercept the pain receptors, then at least the animal is like under an anaesthesia effect, which is humane. People who study humane animal killing just wants the religious bullshit to apply some kind of anaesthesia before slitting the throat of the animal, so the animal won't have to go through the feeling of pain.
