Stunning Cattle
| A packing house worker demonstrates the revolutionary Thor air-powered cattle stunner that was called the first successful pneumatic stunning tool for the meat-packing industry. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals hailed it as an outstanding humane slaughter development because the stunner rendered cattle unconscious instantaneously by driving an automatically retracting metal pin into the animal's brain, making slaughter painless. |
