A device and method for stunning a human or other living animal employs a nozzle or other such means through which a conductive fluid stream can be discharged toward the living animal; a current supply that is electrically coupled to the conductive fluid stream; and a grounding conductor that is coupled between the current supply and a ground potential. When the conductive fluid stream is discharged toward the human or other living animal and impacts the human or other living animal, the current supply passes a current through the human or other living animal when the human or other living animal becomes electrically coupled between the conductive fluid stream and the ground potential. The current is of sufficient magnitude to stun the human or other living animal. As a result, the human or other living animal is stunned when impacted with the conductive fluid stream.

A method of stunning a living animal, including: grounding a current supply to an earth ground, the grounding of the conductor including: coupling a grounding plate to the earth ground; and coupling the grounding plate to the current supply; contacting the living animal with a conductive fluid stream, the conductive fluid stream being coupled to the current supply; and passing a current from the current supply through the conductive fluid stream to the living animal, and from the living animal through the earth ground to the current supply.
