Cause, hate to tell you this, but thats how most farms kill their food animals. That and beheading them. Most of the time (if done right) the animal doesn't feel a thing, or at least doesn't squack/cry out in pain.
Well firstly it doesn't even have to be killing the animal. Most of the time horrible ***is done to it during it's life, cutting off of horns, castration, tail docking, beak removal, and this is all done without any sort of pain killer.
As far as killing it goes, I'm not sure where you get your information, but if you want I can get you the video of them boiling and cutting open pigs while they're squealing to high hell, same thing with cows.
I think there was some HBO special on factory farms, perhaps where the videos in this thread are already from, don't know, don't like watching that kind of stuff.
Again, stupid farmers if they are killing in that method. You want to preserve the meat for sale, and more meat means better profits.
In all honesty, I wouldn't doubt that the whole videos you have were the filmmakers doing it themselves just to make a huge scare tactic into getting more vegans.
Farmers are businessmen in practice, they wouldn't want to lower their profits at all by all these "methods of killing" that you are assuming they do.
And I know, since I worked on a farm years ago, and I know that they don't mistreat animals that way for the sole fact of more meat = more money.
i eat meat, its yummy etc, but meat is much, much more healthier to consume when the animal is less traumatized.
i don't think you guys would really enjoy eating a cow if you saw it had all types of lesions and infected sores on its body from being beat and neglected before being placed in the grinder.
How many farms actually run like that? Then and now?
It isn't profitable for a farm to abuse their products. It lowers the poundage and poundage = money.
What that video was just a stupid farmer. He probably was the poorest in the area when they filmed it, and he probably didn't even know who the filmmakers are or what they are for when they filmed it.
Not being picky but they where showing slaughter houses not farms.

you would be surprised. in the late 09 a few slaughter houses were shut down due to poor conditions to the animals living space food source and other things. if the animal is sick with a life threatening infection, it can carry on into the person the consumes the animal. this is ***they don't tell you about when you're picking out your burger to put on the grill.

They were shutdown for food safety violations, aka selling tainted meat.
It wasn't because of poor conditions of "living space" (by the way, why would a slaughterhouse have living space? That is what farms are for) but because there was no distinction between sick animals and animals able to be ate, and the slaughterhouses were selling tainted meat with the good.
AKA poor management and disregard for food safety laws.

Right, I don't believe any have been shut down for animal cruelty. I've only seen houses charged with it.
The ones that are shut down were due to poor sanitary conditions.
How is sending me to a humane slaughter information site tell me what actually is happening on said farms. You make it sound like you have intimate knowledge that every farm other than the one depicted treat the animals humanly. Which you haven't done.
I can send you to a page that tells how to give the perfect ***, certainly doesn't mean everyone is practicing said techniques.
i think the only time ppl really got worried about eating meat such as beef, is when the video was released of that woman with mad cow disease. and even then ppl didn't refrain from eating beef.
they don't tell you a lot of things when you're buying your meat, same with vegetables. all the pesticides and poison they spray on your food before it even hits the market is unbelievable.
unless you go to a organic market that "claims" they don't use chemicals on food and animals, you're basically blinded from the truth.

Because "Humane Slaughter Information Sites" aren't biased?
/sarcasm.
If you demand PETA-only information, you will find that they are very one-sided when it comes to meat and methods of killing for the survival of mankind.

Listen, I'm going to level with you, I think you're partially HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE. I never asked for that, I asked what information he had that these practices don't go on at every factory farm, he then pointed me to that, which I then replied to.

Avion Flus have crept into the poultry meat markets before, and that slowed (but not stopped) the sales of poultry meats.
Hell, the swine flu slowed the sales of bacon.
But people are not going to stop eating meat. Not only because of the taste, but because it is much easier to survive than living on a vegan diet.
