Humane Handling Activities Tracking System (HATS) Category VIII - Stunning Effectiveness At approximately 1300 hrs., the establishment attempted to stun a market swine, using a captive bolt stun device. The first stun was observed to be ineffective as the animal displayed signs of sensibility wherein the animal remained standing. The establishment stun employee immediately recognized the stun failure and delivered an immediate and effective second stun, using the same captive bolt stun weapon, which rendered the animal insensible, and it remained so thereafter. The establishment was immediately notified of the non-compliance and forthcoming issuance of the associated non-compliance record. The knock box was immediately tagged, pending acceptable corrective actions being proffered.
