I once saw the BBC programme where they take a animal, slaughter it and serve it. In it it said that the law relating to animal slaughtering in UK slaughter houses/abbatoirs (non religious ones) is that the stunning proces cannot kill the animal. The stun is used to 'stun' and then the cow is hung upside down, has its throat slit, and bled to death. Any animals killed via stunning are removed from the process. These practices were introduced during the mad cow disease era.
