CSI REDACTED observed stunning from the front of the pen while the stunner was standing on a stepping stool on the side of the pen which is about 5 feet tall. During the first stunning attempt, the swine fell down and then vocalized and immediately got back up again.

The second stun occurred about 4cm away from the target location and closer to the neck. The pig vocalized and this second attempt was also ineffective. The plant employee readjusted himself to allow more of his body to reach into the pen, then reached in for a third stunning attempt. At this point, the probe was applied at the appropriate location and the swine went down and was stunned appropriately.
