Proposed merge in of Stunner (cattle)
The article Stunner (cattle) seems to me to be about the same topic, albeit with some savable info. As having two articles on the same subject is a bit redundant, I suggest that someone who understands the subject extracts anything useful from that article to integrate into Captive bolt pistol and set the Stunner article as a redirect.

I second.

Shouldn't the merge go in the other direction? That is, merge "captive bolt" into "stunner," rather than the other way around? A captive bolt is a type of stunner in this context, and presumably there are other mechanisms for stunning livestock, such as electrocution. AaronWL 23:45, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
"pollaxe" as a verb?
The article for "pollaxe" refers to a long-handled bladed weapon from medieval times. I'm sure it could be used to kill a cow, but is that really the correct verb in this context? If it is indeed a verb meaning "to smack on the head" then perhaps there should be a mention of that in the pollaxe article.
