I am curious if anyone would care to comment on this slaughterhouse video out of France. (It may be disturbing to some) https://news.vice.com/article/this-horrific-video-of-animal-cruelty-led-to-the-shutdown-of-a-french-slaughterhouse

My take on it is the whole operation is amateurish. There are no safe alleys to lead animals to the kill. There seem to be no standard methods of leading, restraining, killing, or bleeding. The methods are dangerous to the workers. The abusive methods probably lead to an inferior product. There are several unclean kills.

I did not find it overly abusive, except for a couple of the unclean horse kills and how forceful they had to be because of an inefficient system. Bottom line, there are better ways.

Your thoughts?

I am not a big fan of factory type slaughter houses. Obviously a slower “more humane” system would cost more and drive up meat cost but one would hope the industry would clean up it’s own act rather than the Government stepping in to do it for them.

I knew someone who had some land and raised a few pigs. He slaughtered them himself for pig roasts but always used a high powered firearm. One shot to the head with a 12gauge deer slug at close range did the job quick and mercifully.
