Many many many studies have proven that Halaal method of animal slaughter is less painful. There is just a lot of blood spilling everywhere that makes it look gore but the idea is to cut the jugular, killing the supply of blood to the brain, making the brain numb to pain.
The stun method is to whack the cow on the head hard enough to knock it out.
Actually, it is the Carotid Arteries on both sides of the neck that are cut to stop the supply to the brain; the jugular is the vein that carries the return blood to the heart.
The stun method involved not a whack to the head, but a cartridge powered sharp rod that enters the brain stem and knocks out all basic functions instantaneously, including pain.
There are many fatwas permitting the stunning of animals for halal meat:
