The employee immediately rendered a second stun which effectively rendered the animal insensible, and it remained so thereafter. The knock box was tagged with US Retain tag #B41277049 and the establishment owner/manager REDACTED was notified of the regulatory control action and of the forthcoming non-compliance record.
