Captive bolt stunning is used widely across the world because it is a more effective way to slaughter animals because it minimizes the pain and stress the animal goes through during slaughter. My name is Tonuia and today I will be talking to you about how captive bolt stunning is a more humane approach to slaughtering cattle.

Studies, such as those conducted by Gibson in 2019, contribute to the refinement and consideration of this alarming method by understanding its physiological effects. Stunned animals are more efficient at producing meat due to tethering, which offers several advantages, including rapid unconsciousness and reliability, as well as a reduced risk of suffering. If you owned an abattoir, which method would you
