<p>An animal can be temporarily immobilized by passing a pulsed electric current of a potential of about 40 volts maximum through the animal's muscles to cause a state of tetany in the muscles while leaving the organs in a relaxed condition. The pulsed electric current is supplied through sharp-ended needle electrodes implanted subcutaneously and clipped to the hindquarters and forwardly thereof along the spine of the animal, the electrodes piercing the skin and the fatty tissue beneath thereby to contact the ionized fluids beneath the skin so that a low voltage can be used.</p> |
