Does anyone have any first hand experience?

That's why some Muslims and Jews (I'm not 100% but I think it's mostly people of Jewish faith) who keep trying to object to the law in the UK that the animal must be stunned first. According to their belief, it should be slit whilst alive so that the heart continues to pump the blood out of the body.
I've also been told that this is one reason why pigs/pork is not eaten by muslims - apart from religious connotations the pig doesn't have a neck and so there is no way of slitting it's neck properly. I'm happy to be corrected if I've misunderstood.
