Stunning Before Slaughter
Actually loss of too much blood reduces the taste of meat, impacts its color and becomes less desirable due to appearance and taste. I have seen studies that say stunning doesn’t impact the blood drainage and other studies that say it does. If an animal is unconscious I believe the point is that the animal doesn’t move when dying and due to no musscle contraction less blood drains out. I am not sure which study is correct and which study is biased or influenced.
It becomes a matter of ijtihad in that one person can hold the view that the animal died before slaughtering it while another person can argue that the animal died as part of the slaughtering process itself.
Personally, I would not consider it so.
