2. Killing; the animal either has its throat cut or has a chest stick (cutting close to the heart) both where main veins and/or arteries are cut and allowed to bleed causing death by Exsanguination

The use of captive bolt equipment and electrical stunning are approved methods of stunning sheep, goats, cattle and calves for consumption[3]- with the use of gas reserved for swine.[4] Free bullet slaughter (i.e. using a firearm) is not an accepted method in the United Kingdom if the animal is intended for consumption
