The apparatus 10 comprises head locating means 12 provided at one end of a first arm 14, and a metal impaling spike 16 provided towards one end of a second arm 18. The head locating means 12 is generally of an inverted frusto-conical shape. The head locating means 12 is of a size suitable to receive the front half of the head of an animal, for example a game bird. To slaughter the bird, an operator manually closes the handle sections 20, 30, causing the impaling spike 16 to move from the open position (shown) to a closed position in which the impaling spike 16 is received within the head locating means 12. As the impaling spike 16 moves towards the closed position it enters the bird's head generally through the foramen magnum, and enters and destroys the bird's brain stem. The bird is instantly rendered unconscious and killed. |
