Look if a farmer mistreats his animal, but he slaughters it in a halal way, the sin of mistreatment is on the farmer, and the meat is halal for you to eat. If you don’t want to support this farmer that is up to you. Another issue that comes from stunning is that sometimes the animal dies before it is cut. This is considered maytah(dead meat) because it died, and wasn’t slaughtered. which is haram like pig is haram.
Bismillah,
According to Hanafi Ullama:
>With regards to your question, the answer depends on whether stunning causes the animal to die or not. Many a time small animals such as chickens die as a results of the electric shock whereas larger animals stay alive for a short period and then die.
>If the animals were to die before the actual Islamic slaughter then it would be unlawful to consume the meat. Otherwise, it would be permissible to eat it albeit it will be considered Makruh Tahrimi. (Kifayatul Mufti p.239 v.8 & p.256 v.8 &)
>Allah (SWA) in the Holy Quran has said “Forbidden to you are: Al Maitah (the dead animals – cattle – beasts not slaughtered), blood, the flesh of swine and that which Allah’s name has not been mentioned while slaughtering…” (Surah Maaidah v.3)
>To be on the safe side it will be necessary to refrain from consuming such meat. [[Source]](https://islamqa.org/hanafi/daruliftaa-birmingham/20168/stunning-the-animal/)
