Taser QotW: "The use of electricity to immobilize animals should be forbidden."

Dr. Temple Grandin is a Professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University and a world-famous designer of humane livestock handling facilities.

"Electro-immobilization is NOT a humane method of restraint"

"The use of electricity to immobilize animals should be forbidden."

Consider that this advice is for animals.

What about humans?

    If sick cows may not be electro-shocked, under US Department of Agriculture Laws, is there a chance that the Human Animal could be protected in the same way cattle are?
