No person shall use, or cause or permit to be used, electrodes to stun any animal individually unless the apparatus—

measures the impedance of the load; and
prevents operation of the apparatus unless a current can be passed which is sufficient to render an animal of the species being stunned unconscious until it is dead;
incorporates an audible or visible device indicating the length of time of its application to an animal; and
is connected to a device indicating the voltage and the current under load, positioned so as to be clearly visible to the operator.
