ABSTRACT:
An improved animal stunning device is provided which allows the user a quick, easy and cost effective method to kill animals in a slaughterhouse operation. The animal stunner preferably includes a pneumatically activated stunning gun having a trigger assembly provided with a manually operable safety block shiftably mounted on the trigger; movement of the safety block permits selective actuation of the gun or, alternately, prevents such actuation. The gun includes an elongated, reciprocally mounted stunning element having a bored, concave, stunning tip. An elongated, tubular, protective, support nose passageway is provided for slidably supporting and directing the stunning element during operation. Exhaust ports are advantageously provided in the support nose which communicate the interior of the stunner with the atmosphere for proper pneumatic venting; these ports can be selectively blocked to maintain the desired pneumatic compression within the stunner during operation.
