Only then can they be considered fully unconscious. They can then proceed down the line, where workers in slaughterhouses can begin the slaughtering of the specified livestock humanely. For religious sects to proceed in the slaughtering of animals under specifically related rituals, they must fall within compliance of the previously mentioned criterion. No religion is exempt and all animals due to be slaughtered must be rendered insensible beforehand.

On the evening of Sunday 26 October 1851 a brawl broke out in the "Stag" between a bootmaker named Charles Grosse and a group of Irishmen, among them John Egan and John O'Dea. Glover and his sons ejected the Irishmen, but were assaulted with stones: Glover had his jaw broken and was rendered insensible. Sydney Glover fired a pistol, killing O'Dea. A trial for manslaughter failed to convict him.

Dowdall, 2012, p. 114 Shortly after the Vicksburg campaign, Grant suffered his most serious horse related injury while visiting General Banks in New Orleans. According to Grant's account of the incident, the horse he was using was "vicious and but little used", and while he was reviewing Bank's troops, a locomotive in the street sounded its whistle, causing the horse to take flight. It stumbled and fell upon Grant's leg, causing him to be "rendered insensible", and unconscious.

The 1958 HMSA was the first major federal law concerning animal welfare. The HMSA stipulates that animals be "rendered insensible to pain...before being shackled, hoisted, thrown, cast, or cut", and sets out which methods of slaughter are appropriate for which species. The enforcement of the HMSA is questionable. The law lacks a general enforcement mechanism - its original enforcement mechanism, the prohibition of federal purchases of animal products whose slaughter violated the HMSA, was repealed in 1978.

15th-century depiction of exsanguination as part of Jewish ritual slaughter of animals for consumption Exsanguination is used as a method of slaughter. Before the fatal incision is made, the animal will be rendered insensible to pain by various methods, including captive bolt, electricity or chemical. Without prior sedation, stunning or anesthetic, this method of slaughter causes a high degree of anxiety, although other religiously funded studies contradict these findings.Schulze W, Schultze- Petzold H, Hazem AS, Gross R.

During 1856-57 he made ascensions from Providence, Rhode Island, and other places in New England, and, on 15 August, he went up from New Haven, Connecticut, in his balloon “Queen of the Air,” which subsequently became famous from his ascensions made from Boston. At an ascension on 1 September 1858, he experimented with the use of a drag rope as a guide.
