First, note that you've snipped the last bit of my comment about that; to some eyes you've left me looking slightly more callous than objective. I think (but am not certain) that at present regulations prohibit the 'bleeding' of one animal in the presence of other animals of that species. If you google, as I did, you'll find Defra proposes to change that on the grounds that research indicates animals are not distressed by the presence of blood of other members of their species.

Animals are not automatically terrified by rest of others of their kind, as we might be. A good marksman can shoot one animal dead in the presence of others and, provided the animal literally drops dead, the others will not be unduly distressed, especially if they are accustomed to (and trust) humans. What will definitely distress animals is being carried for several hours in an animal transporter with others not of the their herd, deposited in an unfamiliar lairage to rest, then being abruptly driven through unfamiliar surroundings by people they don't know to a place full of loud noises, and so forth. And you are buttuming (as I am not) that the observer was able to identify 'absolute terror' in the animal's eyes. His language indicates he wasn't objective; I don't doubt the animal was distressed -- it shouldn't have been exposed to that! -- but it may not have been terrified.
