Meat companies abroad: when they slaughter a cow, they first stun it until it loses consciousness, then they slaughter it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Meat companies abroad, when they slaughter cows, first stun them with electricity so they fall unconscious, then they slaughter them. Is this action permissible?

Answer:
If you know this, do not eat from them. As for saying, “It is said this, but you do not know,” no, the default is lying. Yes.
