Kindly contact the Muftis of Darul Uloom Azaadville, they are doing research on this matter. However if the animal becomes irreversibly mad by stunning then the slaughtering of mad animals will result in Haraam meat.

Question
SANHA says that it is a non-profit organisation. How can you then say that they are only worried about the 10 million rands that they make and are not worried about whether the people eat halaal or haraam chicken? Do you know for a fact that SANHA is making huge profits out of what they do, or are you just speculating?
Answer
See their balance sheets. They speak volumes. How it is humanly possible to slaughter 2 chickens in one second in a Shaari manner - reading Tasmiyya and severing the windpipe and 4 other vessels - you try it!
