20 What s an acceptable method?? Shotgun or high powered rifle (407/1356 joules) NOT A.22 rifle (135 joules)!! Captive bolt + secondary kill step. Vet drugs administered by a veterinarian. By changing nothing, nothing changes. Tony Robbins 20
21 Implanting Technique important 6% of all calves improperly implanted. Disinfect needle with sponge soaked with disinfectant (chlorhexidine). Decrease chance of infection, less pain. Almost Done! Do these procedures early! Faster job Easier on handler Easier on the animal. Use local anesthetic. Use an analgesic. Prey species, hide pain at all costs. Moral obligation to control pain. 21
