A nonsense aproach.
One of the methods of cattle slaughter, already banned, was by means of a metal point ( choupa in portuguese ), shaped like a spear with a handle, for pricking the animal rachidian bulb.
Could these handle spears be the African equivalent, for either ritual or functional slaughter ?
