Yeah, I think decapitation is fine. I think this guy just cut their carotid, and hung them up to die.

Not a great way to go, honestly.

I’m familiar with some butchering methods, but I’m no butcher. I think that the most common practices in large butcher shops involve either decapitation, or a way of instantly killing the animal. Pretty sure they use a type of bolt “gun” for bovines that basically crushes their skull.

It seems like it is brutal, but their death is so instant, it is considered to be humane.
