I don't think I ever wrote it when it's a big part of their culture but maanul and kyhuines do a death prayer before killing an animal, if a maanul has to go diving to pick seafood they will do the prayer before entering the water. That prayer's words are slightly different.
When kyhuines kill their "cattle" they often give it a certain type of herb (kefhil) to make it more calm, they then tie its legs and will do a stab to the opperculum with a dagger after the prayer. Killing them on the spot.
Northern maanuls also believes you have to look at it in the eyes when doing the final strike, so it's spirit doesn't get lost when leaving the body, and that the animal knows they will have to follow their hunter until sunrise/dawn comes (related to religious beliefs)
