Pounding Against Concrete
Print This Post
Millions of piglets are killed inhumanely each year in Canada by PACing – Pounding Against Concrete. The same is done in the United States. In the US, it’s called “euthanasia.”
The pork industry explains what are “acceptable” methods of killing unwanted pigs here: US Pork Industry “Euthanasia” Booklet. Here is a description of one of the many “acceptable” methods of pig “euthanasia”:
“A wire or polypropylene rod is inserted through the hole in the head made by gunshot or penetrating captive bolt. The rod is pushed into the brain and slid back and forth and rotated to cause maximum damage to the brain and upper spinal cord. Initially, the pig may show muscle contraction and twitching, but muscles will relax and movement will be inhibited shortly thereafter.” (source: American Association of Swine Veterinarians)
Blunt trauma to the head is an acceptable way to kill piglets. This is done to piglets who are unprofitable.
And let’s not forget, these methods were ruled “euthanasia” by a court of law:
The animals don’t need our rationalizations, our feel-good rhetoric, or our paltry excuses. They need our compassion. And they need it now. Nothing else will suffice. Please, don’t support this cruelty. Reduce or eliminate your consumption of pork.
DONT REDUCE YOUR PORK CONSUMPTION.
STOP EATING ANIMALS. IT IS CRUEL, INHUMANE AND UNETHICAL. IT IS DISGUSTING AND BARBARIC
DONT HUG YOUR DOG OR CAT AND SIT DOWN AND EAT YOUR STEAK, PORK CHOPS OR VEAL, HAMBURER OR HOTDOG AND SAY IT OK TO EAT FARM ANIMALS. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IN THEM AND YOUR DOG, IS YOU SAYING SO.
start showing compassion towards all animals and stop eating meat.
This is disgusting, there are more humane ways to end the lives of animals. This makes me wonder of the mindset of some people, are they bent on torture? How could anyone do this to an animal and be ‘right’ in the mind?
Further more, how could this be ruled ‘OK’ by the court of Law?
It is becomming a very scary world.
Shame on Canada ! (MY home country I embarrassingly admit!)
Absolutely awful!
This is ridiculous. Where do we live?????????? Are people even normal ? GO VEG!!!!!
It is barberic to kill fellow living beings. Any society, where such deplorable acts are permitted by law or otherwise has no right to call itself civilised. Highly condemnable.
People are evil…period.
I can’t remember where I first came across this sentiment, but there are two types of people who work in meat processing places: those who like it and want to do it, and those who don’t. Do we want either of those people working there? No way. And since that two groups encompass the whole population, then maybe those jobs need to just go away.
bastards stop killing poor wordless creatures so cruelly..
Stop this! Its the most evil thing …how can human do such thing??????????????
PLEASE – the people who are killing this cruel way will one day realize that EVERYTHING deserves to live. PLEASE STOP this terrible and inhumane killing.
This is so inhumane. If people are so fond of eating flesh, why can’t they eat their own children/ parents.. why kill someone else’s.. wake up people, we are not living in stone-age anymore to eat animals or wear them..get yourselves educated..
What the hell is wrong with people…???!!! Why they are doing that? why must they torture the animals, too? Is it not enough to kill them???
Humans are evil scumbags, fucking destroyers… We’re the next “Meteor” which destroys all life of this world…
so cruel how could people let this happen
Is this a third world country? How on earth can we allow this in the USA and consider this euthanasia???
Stop hurting unnecessarily animals !!!
All first world countries are doing this which against nature. You don’t have power to kill / destroy for your living. Karma has own way to look after you and your generation.
education in first world country failed to teach ethics and values of life no matter it is human, plan, animal …. life is for live not kill by someone.
WHY IS THIS ALLOWED AND PEOPLE NOT LOCKED AWAY…
STOP KILLING ANIMALS THIS WAY.. OR ANY WAY… WE DONT NEED TO EAT MEAT OR FISH… LEAVE THESE INNOCENT ANIMALS ALONE… CRUEL PEOPLE.. SICK PEOPLE.. EVIL PEOPLE… STOP THIS MADNESS… PLEASE!
These people are apathetic it is so unecessary to kill animals in such an inhumane way. It’s a shame some of the footage could not be played outside supermarkets and fast food places such as KFC & Mcdonalds!!
Stop the sadistic, barbaric, inhuman act of Pounding Against Concrete.
