Puppy won't behave for the Steelers game......boyfriend kills it

I'm not party to any animal rights groups, but I have toured slaughter facilities for hogs, sheep & fowl (for insurance purposes). I'm not sure how humane a hog's death is, given they shock it and hang it by a hind leg before slicing it's throat (knife kinda looked like an apple coring tool). At least that's how they did it twenty years ago...

Sounds about right from the accounts I have heard. I have seen a beef slaughter in person. There is nothing humane about any taking of life. Even so at least they are not beating it with a 2x4 or another blunt object. Maybe my point should have been more directed at the use of the animal after its slaughter.

Can't speak for anything but hogs but most large facilitators have outlawed use of prods. Bolt gun is a popular method of essential execution before the animals bleed to death. If I understand correctly, it basically destroys the cerebrum and cerebellum, but allows the heart to continue beating for proper drainage of the blood, but the animal is unconscious.

Most of the time the animals are gassed or killed in the manner IcSyU explained.

I work for a processing (not killing) equipment company, and this is my understanding of it. For many reasons, ethical as well as efficiency, stressed animals give meat quality problems (adrenaline, etc) a lot has changed in the last few decades.

This is bunk rotty's and pit bulls can be trained to do the same thing with no problems. They have been in my family my whole life including Dobermans and we certainly have never had any probs, this sterotype is ridiculous.

I agree. I think you misunderstood my post, because that's pretty much what I was saying.
