ORIGINAL: blnymph Knock the animal unconscious by driving a bolt in the animal's skull (see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captive_bolt_pistol) or electrocute with electrodes, then cut the throat. The whole point of bolt in animal skull is like a bullet in the head. If done to precision correctness. The animal will die a peaceful and quick instant death. As a human being, I will choose death by bolt to skull BEFORE I choose death by throat being slit. I am sure bolt to skull will help me die faster! Whatever you been "informing" yourself with is just Vegan people trying to make people stop eating ALL meat nonsense claiming that sometimes the bolt miss some vital points and the animal fails to die. But that is precision machine failure which can be fixed and improved to perform with more accuracy. Draining the blood out of an animal by slitting their throat is not mercy killing. It's just doing it that way for their own selfish religious nonsense, just doing it without any intention to kill the animal in the kindest way possible. You do realise in Halal slaughtering farms, there is alot of wastage because if the animal accidentally dies before the blood drains out, the meat is thrown away because it's no longer halal. Slitting an animal's throat for bleeding is not mercy killing indeed - but it is the way ANY butchering works. Whatever religion, or none at all. About how a captive bolt gun works you have no clue. I gave you the link, you did not read it. If, then you might have noticed this: Quote from the link I gave above: "Captive bolt pistols are of three types: penetrating, non-penetrating, and free bolt. The use of penetrating captive bolts has largely been discontinued in commercial situations in order to minimize the risk of transmission of disease. In the penetrating type, the stunner uses a pointed bolt which is propelled by pressurized air or a blank cartridge. The bolt penetrates the skull of the animal, enters the cranium, and catastrophically damages the cerebrum and part of the cerebellum. Due to concussion, destruction of vital centers of the brain, and an increase in intracranial pressure, the animal loses consciousness. This method is currently the most effective type of stunning, since it physically destroys brain matter (increasing the probability of a successful stun), while also leaving the brain stem intact and thus ensuring the heart continues to pump during the exsanguination. One disadvantage of this method is that brain matter is allowed to enter the blood stream, possibly contaminating other tissue with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, colloquially known as mad cow disease). The action of a non-penetrating stunner is similar, but the bolt is blunt with a mushroom-shaped tip. The bolt strikes the forehead with great force and immediately retracts. This concussion is responsible for the unconsciousness of the animal. This type of stunner is less reliable at causing immediate and permanent unconsciousness than penetrating types; however, it has undergone a resurgence of popularity due to concerns about mad cow disease. In the European Union, this captive bolt design is required for slaughter of animals that will be used for pharmaceutical manufacture.[2] The free bolt stunner is used for the emergency, in-the-field euthanasia of large farm-animals that cannot be restrained. It differs from a true captive bolt gun in that the projectile is not retractable; it is similar in operation to a powder-actuated nail gun or conventional firearm. Capable of firing only when pressed firmly against a surface (typically the animal's forehead), the device fires a small projectile through the animal's skull. The veterinarian can then either leave the animal to die from the projectile wound, or administer lethal drugs. Use With cattle, goats, sheep, and horses,[3] a penetrating stunner is typically used since it destroys the cerebrum while leaving the brain stem intact; this results in a more consistently reliable stun, and ensures the animal's heart continues to beat during the bleeding process. Captive bolts allow for meat trimmings from the head to be salvaged. In some veal operations, a non-penetrating concussive stunner is used in order to preserve the brains for further processing. Captive bolt stunners are safer to use in most red meat slaughter situations. There is no danger of ricochet or over-penetration as there is with regular firearms." And this: "The goal of captive bolt stunning is to inflict a forceful strike on the forehead with the bolt in order to induce unconsciousness. The bolt may or may not destroy part of the brain." It is for stunning, not killing. That you don't know the difference, is obvious. That you are uninformed about what you post, is obvious too. As usual ...
