But both methods are used after the animal has been stunned. Most meat slaughtered in the UK is stunned first. I don't think there is much to get worked up about. Once the animal is stunned, I'm not too fussed whether it is shot with a bolt gun or has its throat slit.
Apparently, it is only a small % that is not stunned: http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/may/08/what-does-halal-method-animal-slaughter-involve
