ALT Excerpt from Wired expose of CO2 use to stun pigs "Spy Cams Reveal the Grim Reality of Slaughterhouse Gas Chambers" that indicates the following: "Counter to Smithfield’s claims, several veterinarians, animal agriculture experts, and an animal welfare law professor who watched DxE’s videos and others from research studies agree that the kind of reaction captured in the footage represents an inhumane and even illegal degree of pain. 'Those animals suffered terribly. They suffered horribly,' says Jim Reynolds, a vet and professor at Western University’s College of Veterinary Medicine who has served on the American Veterinary Medicine Association’s panel for euthanasia guidelines. 'It was absolutely a violation of federal law. They were not stunned. It was inhumane.' Source link: https://www.wired.com/story/dex-pig-slaughterhouse-gas-chambers-videos/
ALT May 2023 Guardian excerpt with picture of suffering pigs exposed to CO2 meant to stun pigs but which causes immense fear and suffering. Opening paragraphs indicate: "New undercover footage showing British pigs being gassed prior to slaughter has led to renewed calls to investigate the use of CO2. Campaigners say the pictures – the first of their kind to be obtained in a UK abattoir – show the 'utterly inhumane' nature of using CO2 to stun pigs before being killed. But the pork industry says its use is recognised as the most welfare-friendly method available, and says alternatives are being sought."

Like, god gave animals the ability to suffer, experience emotion, & the desire to NOT want to die, but then willed humans to relentlessly cause such against them? Is jesus on smithfield's board of directors?" Shown is video still of suffering pigs being violently burned from the inside out using the globally-standard form of pig stunning, CO2, proven to cause extreme pain and suffering.
