Sorry but I couldn't ber bothered reading all 5 pages but I feel the need to comment on this. I am a meat eater and use to work in a slaughterhouse. I was not involved in the killing but have had the tour and seen the killing first hand. The slaughter of these animals is as humane as possible. They are kept in clean pens over night to calm them down. If any animal is seen to be in distress it is isolated and allowed to calm down. (Admittedly this is because killing a stressed out animal makes the meat tougher.) They are moved through into the slaughter hall where they are stunned using an electrical charge then immediately killed using a boltgun that thrusts a long threaded bolt into there brain. Death is instant. What you have desciibed is, as someone else mentioned, possibly the halal traditional method. This is not common practice within modern slaughterhouses.
