Stunning, actually, is quite crueler than cutting the animals throat. They don’t give the animal a sedative which is what most people think.
Animal stunning. (just the wiki explanation, no pictures).
It’s more painful and terrifying for the animal than slitting its throat where they die within seconds. Muslims have similar rituals.
So, essentially, stunning is shocking the animal with a big, huge taser.
