Hello all,

Does anybody know of a preferred method of killing farm animals? (Isaan)

The sledge hammer, knife concept seems to be the only way for our Village.

Butchered one rather large cow the other day, which I might add even proved to be a handful for our gang of blades.

Just curious, “here say never fun to do” but most definitely a necessity of life in a Village.

I’m thinking that there isn’t a humane way inside this Village as from what I’ve seen it’s pretty tuff if you’re on the menu.

Regards

Have the animal eat spicy that well kill anything.

If it were me, I'd hire one of the local police officers to kill the beast with his handgun. NEVER do I want to see, again, the locals try to cut their throat.

.... using blunt instrument trauma is sadly still very common in rural areas , and a terribly cruel way of going about things - mind you it also spoils the meat so the animal has the last laugh in a way.

Small caliber firearm (.22 rimfire or .32 revolver) - centre of the head will drop and render unconscious the largest buffulo bull (or cow) instantly - then cut its throat straight away - doesn't get all the blood out (unless you can hang the animal quickly on a tripod), but it does drain 90% plus out of the animal and make a big diff to the meat quality and how long it lasts.

Stil bang and knife out where I'm at (Nakhon Sawan). With the right person swinging the hammer it's just as effective. Odd thing is though that, at least on pigs, they knife the heart instead of slitting the throat.
