313.15(a)(1)
On 3/3/24 at approximately 8:30 a.m., while verifying the establishment's stunning procedures, I, SPHV REDACTED, observed the following non-egregious humane handling noncompliance: An establishment employee attempted to stun a market hog with a captive bolt gun. The captive bolt discharged, the hog vocalized, and I observed the hog still standing with tracking eye movements. I observed a bleeding circular depression near the left ear where the bolt had pierced the skin. The establishment employee immediately reloaded the captive bolt with a second round and discharged it again. The hog was promptly and effectively rendered insensible. The establishment does have a robust, systematic approach to humane handling. Plant Owner REDACTED was notified of the incident.
