Slaughtering pigs in a humane way

In Denmark, the handling of pigs at the slaughterhouse is optimised with respect for the animal. Try to follow the route from the truck to the stunning.

“Slaughtering pigs in a humane way.”

No pigs were actually slaughtered in this video...

[henryginn]

There's a very good reason they conveniently decided to omit the actual slaughtering...

Notice how they don't actually show the slaughter. Very suspicious.

This video is about pigs walking. There is zero slaughtering. I am not here to see animals die, but I was curious about the “humane way” they are slaughtered.

In a parallel universe: *slaughtering humans in a pig way*

New title:
Pigs walk around, have a drink, walk some more, have a nap and walk some more.
This is all that happens.

They didn't show how the pigs gets stunned, is is the most horrific scenes you will ever see.

I do like instead of sticks or electric zappers that hurt the pigs they just use sound to move them. Makes them less paniced i believe.

Me and the boys: “dude I heard this ride is epic.”
“Ya it sucks that there’s a huge line tho”
The ride:

The rattler as opposed to a prod is something I was very interested to be seeing. Glad to see they also had access to water and weren’t forcefully crammed together into a small area. I’ve seen places literally shove and kick them to fit as many pigs as possible, resulting in unnecessary stress and trampling injuries. They seemed fairly calm for being in a strange area and had spacious walkways. Overall a great facility!

Where's the actual slaughter?
Not humane enough?
Too horrific to show?

I spent thirty years in the meat industry. Probably cut a hundred thousand pigs and steers. It is just a job. It all comes in packaged in cryovac bags in boxes. Not until I went to work custom cutting for a slaughter house outside Allentown PA did I get a good look at how brutal and sad this business really is. If you saw how it was done and the terror on the animals faces at the final realization of what was happening. You might eat more rice and beans.

How they get from Point A to Point B is more humane. But didn’t show the stunner for obvious reasons.

I used to work on a small farm, about a half mile down the road was a slaughterhouse for pigs, and let me tell you those piggies were LOUD. Sometimes, late at night if you happened to be outside; you would hear them squealing and from that far away it sounded like a woman was being murdered, eerie stuff

Where's the slaughter? They've conveniently left out that part where they are actually killed.

[benjanlupzig]

It can't be that humane if you don't show the whole process.

[musicmadness]

legend has it they're still walking to the slaughter house

All animals deserve respect, well cared for and also given thanks for their sustenance in this circle of life. Thank you for this information and for being what appears to be responsible farmers.
