depending on what the animal was and how big it was, you could hit it over the head and knock it out before you cut its throat, that would only apply to domestic livestock really, anything you hunted your probably going to shoot dead anyway.

this is why the UK uses the stunning method in abattoirs.

It depends which stun method you are referring to, there are a few!

stunning is stunning, dosent matter what the method is, the result is the same. I don't work in an abattoir, but I thought a lot of them used bolt guns, I think other use electrical stunning.

personally i'm not too bothered, if its poultry it'll get its neck wrung, anything else will get its throat slit...end of subject.

....and it doesn't take vicious dogs to do this either, a vicious dog is the dog who is on his own, who first growls and then attacks,... in the case of dog packs its excitement,... a bit like a gentle, softie [man] who doesn't want to hit anyone,...who is teased and egged on to do something,.. then once he starts it difficult to stop.

Dogs follow the group leader, and excitement takes over,.. if you can remove the instigator the rest will stop

15 attack dogs is a big pack, more than would be normal in the wild, usually it would be more like 5 or 6 who go after prey,... it might be an indication of how domestic dogs will hunt after an event,... scary indeed

All the more reason to bug in as long as possible.

Lol stunning isn't just stunning, it's a little bit of a black art but there are various types on the market, each with pros and cons.

I've got a fair bit of experience on this subject lol

I think bugging out will be more of an American thing, I cant see many Brits bugging out, not in the first stages anyway, later on when there are no main services and everything goes TU then maybe.

Heck BP, just find a Korean restaurant near you and you can find out!

The problem here in Texas is not feral dogs, but feral hogs...
