A sheep on the floor of the stun pen - Hidden cameras captured sheep, goats and pigs being shot with a handheld stunning device. The stunner was often ineffective, meaning that animals would remain conscious until they were stunned again, or even as they were dragged into the kill room to have their throat slit. - Captured at Gretna Meatworks, Gretna TAS Australia.
