A sincere question … (05/11/17)
Would someone help me out here? I have frequently heard from non-vegans that they only eat animals who have been “humanely slaughtered”, so I’m curious — what in the world is “humane” about putting someone through an extremely painful stunning process* and then murdering them in their mere childhood?
Don’t worry … I won’t be holding my breath waiting for your answer.
Please stop looking for the “right way” to do the very wrong thing … Please go vegan … Thank you.
P.S. We aren’t talking about “relatively humane slaughter” here … It is relatively humane for a human being to be murdered by asphyxiation as opposed to via torture, but that doesn’t make the former in any way humane — but you know this already.
Indeed, the pictured pig in this image is being “humanely electrocuted” to (often only partially) stun it before it gets its throat slit to make your “bacon”, and the only other form of stunning that is considered “more humane” than electrocution is carbon monoxide poisoning — a process whereby pigs are lowered into gas chambers where they literally burn from the inside out until unconscious.
P.P.S. Did you know that a chicken’s head remains conscious and pain-sensitive for up to thirty seconds after being decapitated?
