PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrification-type slaughter device that in performing slaughter and the like on a captured animal using electrification, is capable of inhibiting an electrode needle attached to a tip of an operation tool and stuck into the animal from being detached from the animal's body and disabling the electrification, from being deformed, or from being damaged.SOLUTION: An electrification-type slaughter device A comprises: a power supply unit 1; a plus side electrification operation tool 2 to which a plus side electric wire 16 of the power supply unit 1 is connected, the plus side electrification operation tool having an electrode needle 4 formed at its tip so as to be capable of being separated while keeping a state capable of performing electrification via the plus side electric wire 16; a minus side electrification operation tool 3 to which a minus side electric wire 17 of the power supply unit 1 is connected, the minus side electrification operation tool having an electrode needle 4 formed at its tip so as to be capable of being separated while keeping a state capable of performing electrification via the minus side electric wire 17; and actuation switches 22, 32 for performing switching between electrification and interception of the plus side electric wire 16 and the minus side electric wire 17. The electrode needles 4 have a retainer part 441.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2019,JPO&INPIT【課題】捕獲した動物を通電によって屠殺等を行う際に、操作具の先端に取り付けられた、動物に突き刺す電極針が動物の身体から抜け外れて通電ができなかったり、あるいは変形したり、破損したりすることを抑制できる通電式屠殺装置を提供する。【解決手段】通電式屠殺装置Aは、電源部1と、電源部1のプラス側電線16が接続されており、先端部にプラス側電線16を介して通電可能な状態を維持しながら分離できるように形成されている電極針4を有するプラス側通電操作具2と、電源部1のマイナス側電線17が接続されており、先端部にマイナス側電線17を介して通電可能な状態を維持しながら分離できるように形成されている電極針4を有するマイナス側通電操作具3と、プラス側電線16及びマイナス側電線17の通電と遮断を切り替える起動スイッチ22、32とを備え、電極針4は抜け止め部441を有する。【選択図】図1
