Mike,

Have to question your statement here. I agree there is a lot of evidence that the processing lines do not always take the time/care to do it right.
Having done it, I can attest a properly placed shot to the head (or even a sledge hammer blow) will dispatch a bovine up to and including a 3 year old bull.

Didn't watch the video. The comments were enough to sicken me.
We have a neighbor who, three decades ago was dangerous around stock, having learned from his alcoholic father. My FIL "had a talk" to him one day after his actions caused the loss of one of our animals and his methods have been vastly improved in the past two decades.

Most people though, having no experience, don't understand how food motivated most bovines are.

When you compare this issue with the treatment of human beings in many countries, it kind of falls off the radar.

Best
Les
