Floor slamming was surely already contrary to animal cruelty laws and ought to have been addressed.

The company said that blunt force euthanasia was approved by the veterinary association for pork producers. That doesn't make it right.

I'd argue whether the technique was blunt force 'euthanasia.' They didn't even slam these piglets into the ground unti they were dead.

They would slam them two, three, or four times into the concrete, then toss the living piglet onto a pile to die.

Like you, I don't know the answer. As for captive-bolt guns, piglets squirm more than cows and the target area is much smaller.

However, there has to be a better way than the way shown in the video. The company's essentially admitted that practice can't continue once the public knows about it. Of everything shown in the video, it's the only practice that will be discontinued.

Someone needs to strip those “vets” of their licenses if they prescribed floor slamming. It should be one blow and they’re out, if anything. Floor slamming does not achieve that. A sledge hammer might.

Garbage. Ever heard of nerve reflex??? The piglet is DEAD when it leaves the workers hand. Damned shame you fall for a very likely faked propaganda flick.
