As soon as you cut the Jugular Vein then the animal looses blood pressure to the brain and the animal is unconscious. Most farmers and Home Kill operators shoot or stun first for their own safety. Thrashing around afterwards is merely nerves simple as that.

sheeprus clearly has strong views on this subject, there is no need to mock him. Pretty childish o.O

Pretty awful practice in my eyes, as the animal does not gets stunned first - but has its throat cut while fully aware - and then let bleed to death.
Could be that the meat keeps better in hot countries if no blood is in the muscle (the heart will pump it all out until it gives out), however not something I like to do - and certainly NOT "healthy" for the humans eating it as the amount of adrenalin in the meat would be huge due to the stress.

They do get stunned first in NZ. its not much different in result to the captive bolt they use in aussie works, they drop like a stone either way, just with the stunning for halal here.

Sounds nice dezzie. However it is not all that true.
". The 2010 the government introduced a new Code of Animal Welfare that would have required all commercially slaughtered livestock to be stunned before slaughter. But after the Jewish community threatened the former Agriculture Minister David Carter with legal action the Government backed down and created an exemption for the Jewish community allowing it to have sheep and chickens slaughtered without stunning - meeting the Jewish kosher requirement for shechita slaughter.

Most meat in NZ is killed in the Halal way, otherwise we wouldn't be able to export it to many markets

Did you not bother reading before posting? You are wrong. In NZ, they are stunned.

What is the 'anything' you advocate? By and large this is a fast and clean death. Do some research before you condemn.
