Zusammenfassung:	A method for stunning animals and a respective stunning system 1 is disclosed. Animals are lowered in a cradle 2, 16 into a pit 3 filled with anoxic stunning gas. The cradle 2, 16 is provided with a heat sink 11, preferably comprising solid carbon dioxide 13, for cooling the stunning gas in the pit 3 resulting in a density increase of the stunning gas in the pit 3. This reduces demixing of the stunning gas and rising of components such as nitrogen (N2) usually having a lower density than the air surrounding the stunning system 1.
