USDA Inspection Report: 5 Jan 2012
Code: 04C02
Violation: 313.16
Citation: On 1/5/11, while conducting a humane handling assessment, I witnessed the following non-compliance. At approximately 8am in the morning a plant employee attempted to shoot a steer with a .22 caliber rifle. The first shot was unsuccessful at producing immediate unconsciousness. Immediate corrective action was taken by the plant employee, who shot the steer again with a 410 gauge shotgun. This shot produced immediate unconsciousness. 9 CFR 313.16(a)(1) states, in part: The firearms shall be employed in the delivery of a bullet or projectile into the animal in accordance with this section so as to produce immediate unconsciousness in the animal by a single shot before it is shackled, hoisted, thrown, cast, or cut.
Regulation:

The animal shall be shot in such a manner that they will be rendered unconscious with a minimum of excitement and discomfort.
