    The pig was likely gassed or shot to death. Its body was then cut in half with a large saw, then hung on a conveyor to be dismembered.

      Okay, real talk, I don’t really care what they do to the animals after they’re dead, as long as it’s hygienic.

      The real problem is how they are treated during their lives, and how they’re killed. There are farms ranging from pretty bad to “absolutely horrible hellish shit you wouldn’t believe” bad.

        Okay, real talk, there’s no ethical way to kill someone who’s done nothing to you and didn’t want to die.

        We should therefore be farming boomers instead. Gimme those daddy steaks

              Fuck, I’ve called cops pigs, I don’t get your point.
              Are you saying pigs should have guns or that we should eat cops. I’m honestly down for either.

                I know you don’t get it hun, that’s okay. You can ask your mom to explain it to you when you’re older.

                  Why does everything not have the right to not be harmed. You kill bugs when you drive a car, where’s your sympathy for them?

                  Nearly every being that exists harms other beings. Even herbivores through being territorial or mating. Drawing and arbitrary line then saying we can’t hurt anything past it is silly when we can’t even stop hurting each other.

                    This is how I feel about some humans. I’m glad we can agree on that.

          Animals aren’t people wtf.

          Livestock animals deserve far better than they get, but comparing their lives to humans is absurd

          Careful, you’ll trigger the “you can’t prove plants can’t feel pain” cascade. It’s a very annoying subroutine.

        The best part is that farming animals kills more plants than just eating them directly

        Actually you have me convinced now, gonna go chow down on a cow. I fucking hate plants 😡🌲🔪

      Thank God it’s shot to death, it would be really awkward if it was just wounded

          Even a wounded animal is going to respond physically to the sound of a saw. Then you have to consider what will happen when the half dead body of a 900lb pig is placed on a cold steel plate and slowly pushed into a sharp fast moving band saw. A half alive pig would take a few people to hold it down and get the job done.

          If you go ass first, damn things would probably kick and scream for a good 5 minutes before it would succumb to the injuries. Would be better to go head first really.

          On second thought, for the health of the consumer, the food meat animal would need to be gutted before it was cut on the band saw. Yeah, gutting a half living meat sack would be much harder than a dead one. Very awkward. Maybe if it were dead enough it might even live for an extra few minutes. One might say that would be an advantage over being killed instantly with a bolt to the skull. You had a few more minutes of life, no matter how painful they might have been.

          Paralysed maybe, not able to move our scream. A soft gloved hand stroking the skin. A cold, sharp pinch as a gutting knife quickly penetrates your body. Just a few more seconds now. The blade expertly guided up the abdomen. The flow of warm blood flowing over the legs. A sudden feeling of coldness as the blood drains, one last breath taken. Never exhaled.

          BRB! My bacon is ready.
