[QUOTE="Ryan, post: 66241, member: 615"] As far as I know, since the animal rights activists have been interested in the handle and slaughter of food animals, many different procedures have been put in place to ensure the safety and pain of the animals. Like, animals are brought in with weight on their chest and belly, not in on feet, this will prevent the animal from jumping and causing harm; also, they are stunned with a stunner then, once unconscoius, they are lifted vertically by their left leg and "stuck" with a sharp knife in the neck to remove the blood in the system. From my understanding most big slaughter houses use this method. Not shooting them. I know that personal or smaller places will/can have different methods. All of my information came from my Meat Science class taken last fall, taught by the chairman of the Meat Science department at Texas A&M. [/QUOTE]
