slaughter methods
Slaughter methods are techniques used to humanely kill animals for food. Common methods include captive bolt stunning, where a device temporarily renders the animal unconscious, followed by bleeding; electrical stunning, which uses electricity to induce unconsciousness before bleeding; and gas stunning, where animals are exposed to gases like CO₂ to calmly render them unconscious. The goal is to minimize pain and stress, ensuring a humane process. Regulations and standards vary by country, emphasizing animal welfare and humane treatment throughout the process.
