I never liked the part of the slaughter of the pig, even though they were stunned before the actual slaughter, because they were like pets to me, but, we have to eat. However, anyone that tells me the animal does not suffer when it is killed by just having it's throat cut is living in cloud cuckoo land.

In my opinion during any slaughter the animal will suffer whether it be by Halal,kosher ,electric stun before bleeding or captive bolt stun .In both the latter methods there is potential for the animal to still be conscious while the bleeding occurs ,the animals are certainly still alive so there is potential for just as as much suffering if not more as Halal or Kosher meat
