as possible for rapid bleed out. Alternatively, sticking may be performed by making a deep, transverse cut across the throat close to the head to sever the four major blood vessels in the neck.

When using a transverse cut across the throat, it is essential that both the carotid arteries and both jugular veins are effectively cut. Do not slaughter cattle or humans like that.
