[QUOTE="J Cookson, post: 6337688, member: 134556"] Many pigs are now Gassed as it is considred the most humane stun method that also ensures they do not cannot regain conciousness during post sticking. Some use the dry tong electrical head only stun which does not have the best Animal Welfare record (as is used for sheep because it ensuress the animal does not die before sticking). There had been an argument that an animal with a beating heart helps drain blood from the carcass but this has been scientifically disproved so no longer a genuine argument. Indeed the Jarvis Box when used for Cattle stunning has 2 agendas... Stun or Kill (Head only Stun for religious slaughter to ensure the animal is alive or electrocution Head/Chest which induces cardiac arrest and kills the animal which is unsuitable for Religious Slaughter so when the term Stun is used more clarity is required because it is being used to deflect the actual method of stun hence why people have Animal Welfare concerns regarding all Stuns. Misuse of the word stun is the problem that many have started to see through and why farming needs to consider all consumers rather than being selective for the minority groups in the UK. Honesty through labelling is the answer. [/QUOTE]
