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.
