Usage on people in policing and torture Ĭhinese torture victim Gao Rongrong showing scars incurred from an electric baton. Most farmers contend that the short shock is minutely felt, and soon forgotten. Organizations such as PETA contend that the use of cattle prods is as much mentally harmful as it is physically. The use of electric cattle prods has been debated by many people. This design is well-suited for use as a regular cattle prod. Another typical design is a box containing a large battery (or battery pack) at the handle end and wires embedded in a fibreglass rod, ending with two electrodes in a rubber tip. Anything out of that range is usually too heavy and unwieldy for practical use. Most are simple designs powered by 9-volt or a combination of other types of batteries. Whether it is called a cattle prod or a stun gun, both units are shaped for easy carry and function in the same manner against animals or humans. A stun gun is nothing more than a beefed up cattle prod and both can be used on humans or animals by design. As the precursor of stun guns, cattle prods also have a wide range of voltage with enough current to operate in the same manner as a stun gun does against humans. They range in length from six inches (usually of a more encased rectangular prism design like a stun gun), to up to six feet. Their shape is often subject to guidelines of what can easily be used and handled. There are various designs of electric cattle prods. Some higher-voltage prods can interfere with radio and CB radio reception when activated. The electric cattle prod is designed to inflict a painful shock to cattle, and thus "prod" them along the pain stimulates movement. Anything that touches the electric current receives a high- voltage low- current shock, not strong enough to kill a human or a large animal such as a cow or sheep from short-term exposure, but strong enough to cause significant pain. The electric current at the shock end runs through two metal electrodes. A hotshot is typically cylindrical, and can carry an open electric current at the "shock end" when activated.
