Dad hauls loads of hogs to a local slaughterhouse several times a year. Other than a panel (must be poly/plastic and have no sharp corners, no wood, steel or aluminum), the raddle paddle is the only "tool" they'll let you move the hogs with. No whips, no sticks, no canes, no flappers, and certainly no electric prods. You can't even raise your voice and make some noise. The paddle can only strike an animal with any amount of force if the animal charges you or you otherwise need to for a defensive purpose. You can tap or sort of lay it on the hog's back and rock it back and forth, but you better not let the USDA guys or an employee see you smack one with anything with any amount of force.
Larger slaughterhouses employ people (animal rights gurus) specifically to view and critique how the animals are unloaded, handled, and moved to pens/holding areas. I've even read somewhere that one has someone hired to speak softly and even sing around the livestock until they're bled out.
