"I think our work is the best evidence yet that it's painful," says Craig Johnson, who led the study at Massey University in Palmerston North, New Zealand.

His team also showed that if the animal is concussed through stunning, signals corresponding to pain disappear. The findings increase pressure on religious groups that practice slaughter without stunning to reconsider.
