Sheep, goats and pigs would be herded into the pens together, then isolated and picked off one by one, in front of each other. Sheep would often try and jump out of the stun pen and were roughly handled by workers to hold them still and shoot them with the handheld bolt gun. - Captured at Gretna Meatworks, Rosegarland TAS Australia.
