HATs Category VIII Stunning Effectiveness On 6/24/2022, at 0645, I observed the stunning of a beef animal at establishment 45208 during a HAV procedure. The employee aimed the firearm at the animal in the stun box and applied the first stun attempt at the same time the animal move it's head. I observed the projectile glazed the beef's head but the animal did not respond. I observe the animal remain standing in place. After aiming carefully, the employee immediately applied a second stun attempt which dropped the animal in place, thereby rendering the animal insensible. The animal remained unconscious throughout the shackling, hoisting and bleeding process. No regulatory action was taken due to immediate and effective corrective actions being observed. I informed the establishment owner of the noncompliance in which 9 CFR 313.16(a)(1) was not met. There have been no noncompliance records issued for the same root cause within the past 90 days.
