I think it's more of a bolt that's shot into their brain.
Heard of it. Sometimes more than once; because it doesn't always work the first time.

Well mostly we just chopped their heads in a guillotine, sometimes, because death is a "stress" we stuck a hypodermic into their ventricles and extracted their blood before chopping off their heads.
Doesn't the process of putting a hypodermic into their ventricles also cause stress?
Not as much as chopping off their heads; also it depends on which hormone you're collecting. Friends of mine in neuro routinely chopped off heads without anesthesia because it interferes with chemical responses.
Is it not the same as the Jewish slaughter of animals ?.Islamic Halal slaughter has increasingly come under attack from animal rights activists telling tales of barbaric blood-thirsty ritual slaughter.
...since the animal 'must' be conscious during its death, so that the 'animal spirit' can be drained from its body via its blood, therefore it cannot be cruel!
Wonder why animals rights groups are up in arms about this!
Who cares about animals anyway, they have no rights or a soul!!!!
Can you cite a study because I heard the opposite.
I am basing my information on a study conducted at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Germany by W. Schulze, H. Schultze-Petzold, A.S. Hazem, and R. Gross in 1978. Here is a link to the study translated by Dr Sahib M. Bleher (the original is written in German).

Some crab nervous systems can shut down completely in 25C.Biologically, a crab is nowhere near a cow.
and you did so when the rat was unconscious and under anesthetic. Was the Hala animal unconscious and under anesthetic when it's throat was cut?I used a similar process [beheading] for rats. Sometimes we stuck a needle in the heart and took their blood all out first. This is considered humane by laboratory standards. And yeah, I've killed enough rats for lab use that I find such arguments for food specious.
Electroencephalography recordings, which record electrical activity along the scalp due to rapid neuron activity within the brain, have been surgically implanted onto the skull of various sheep and cattle in the past to test their reactions to two methods of slaughter: halal (slitting the animal's throat), and captive bolt stunning (firing a rod into the brain of an animal, at which point it recoils back into the pistol by spring tension).
It was discovered that halal slaughter was painless in the sheep and cattle who were tested; the captive bolt stunning method, which is the popular and widely encouraged method, was found to cause severe and painful reactions in the animals. It is also worth mentioning that halal and kosher meats generally taste better due to salted blood extraction. The salts used to extract the blood from animals slaughtered by halal and kosher methods through osmosis give the meat a better flavor; the extra sodium within the meat cells also help to retain the juices in the meat.
yeah you would know after all isn't "torture" your most celebrated subject?Yeah thats right. Anyone who thinks electric shocks are painless are welcome to experiment on themselves.
Really! did you make sure all the evil spirits in it were carefully removed too?Yeah I just pulled off the heads of some nice yummy Bombay ducks. grrrrr!
....Animals should not be killed in a painful manner because of some stupid superstition. If a vote comes up I'll vote for a change immediately.
so how should my husband kill the fish he catches? :shrug:
