Yep, it puts them into this weird trance and they eventually suffocate.

Hey! People do that with chickens before they chop their heads off

Except that with chickens all you have to do is hold them still and draw a line right in front of their eyes.

Who's wasting time putting a chicken in a trance before killing it? Just snap its neck when you pick it up, quick flick of the wrist is all it takes.

It's mostly a trick for people who're still getting used to killing livestock. I don't have to use that trick anymore but I had to when I wasn't used to it.

It's also a fun party trick for entertaining city people
