Last I checked, they cost around 400 USD, which is way cheaper than using syringes with poison or electric chair that takes up a bunch of energy. So what gives? Why throw away money on fancy ways to kill death row inmates if captive bolt pistols used in slaughterhouses are so humane? Once they’re stunned, we can simply stab them in the throat and bam wam, they are dead and don’t suffer.
Right?
(Disclaimer: I’m against capital punishment and I’m just trying to understand how the minds of animal abusers/pro capital punishment people think).
If your trust in mankind is still intact, avoid researching lethal injection executions. Occasionally the analgesic fails to relieve the paralysis. Thus, although experiencing the worst anguish conceivable, the person is immobile and unable to react in any manner. Hell is real; it exists here on Earth and is being elected by humans.
The bolt gun doesn’t even kill the animal, it’s the throat cutting and subsequent blood loss that does. The gun is supposed to stun I guess, so the rest of the procedure is easier. Chickens and ducks don’t even get the gun
The purpose of the pistol is to simply confuse enormous animals so that the worker, who is a human, won’t get injured while trying to slit their throat. When an animal doesn’t threaten the people involved, there’s no need to “stun” it.

I mean, it’s rather the killing itself that is ethically worrying. The methods vary from country to country. Some do shootings, hangings, guillotine or even stoning. Humans are cruel and don’t give a shit about how another being is killed.
They don’t want it humane they want it to not shock the audience. The most humane way would be multiple shotgun shells from different angles but it would make a bloody mess.
Have you ever searched YouTube for the functions of a bolt gun? Tests on ballistic gel heads and other things are conducted. It’s rather deadly. But in my opinion, bullets should be used at executions.
The fastest and most compassionate death someone could hope for would probably be a one-shot to the skull. Numerous studies have shown that fatal injections can go wrong, hurt, or not actually kill someone. For both humans and animals, a single 9mm round through the skull would be far more merciful.
Have you ever looked up the functions of a bolt cannon on YouTube? Ballistic gel heads are tested, among other things. It’s pretty lethal. However, I believe that executions should involve the use of bullets.
I think a single gunshot to the head would be the most merciful and expeditious way to die. Several investigations have demonstrated that lethal injections can go awry, cause harm, or not result in death. A single 9mm round through the skull would be significantly more humane, for both people and animals.
They have no desire to tidy up the mess for others. People aren’t food, thus the low mess alternative is favored. However, meat must be drained of blood as part of the preparation, so might as well get it out early.
