I'm more concerned about the way animals live. This pig almost certainly had a much better life than the ones we eat in western countries.

weightedtemp (8 hours ago) [-] I literally grew up with a pig farmer. Ironically his last name was Farmery. Those pigs were doing mighty fine. I'm not sure that's a fair assumption to make

FeeFieFoe (7 hours ago) [-] I used to work on a hog farm as a kid, they didn't give a **** over there, there were about 400 pigs all packed together in fences, sometimes when one died (have no idea how) the other ones would eat it, and there were so many sometimes when one was pregnant you couldn't even tell, and sometimes baby pigs got eaten riiight after being born. I can't smell things like cologne because my nose is so ****** up from smelling nothing but rotting pigs and poo for 2 years there, you could smell it from half a mile away. We killed them with a sledgehammer, and sometimes with a gun if we were tired. I do not like these memories. They went out of business about 6 years ago because of a bigger farm doing things faster and stuff, surprisingly there was never really any social media/news coverage about that place, and I never really thought it was that ****** up till I grew up.

lathyrusvii (8 hours ago) [-] It's literally a bullet on the end of a hammer. It's pretty humane, actually... I don't think it's still too widely used, but done properly, it's fairly instantaneous.

raverr (4 hours ago) [-] That would never work, a bullet requires a one way channel to travel through being forced by the gasses created by the explosion, if a cartridge were to detonate outside a chamber or tube with the brass casing exposed, the casing would rupture under the pressure from it not being supported and send brass and the bullet flying in unpredictable directions.

lathyrusvii (4 hours ago) [-] What? The brass casing is certainly enough to survive the explosivity of the gunpowder. Without a barrel the trajectory would probably change rapidly, but the casing should be fine.

Huh, wow, you had a point.
I'd always heard something about a bullet on the end of a hammer for killing livestock. Like, not a modern method, but something like that. Shows what I know, damn.

lathyrusvii (5 hours ago) [-] Yeah, but that's a dick move. He's a farmer; take a shotgun and point-blank that pig in the head. What is that, 50 cents? A blunt end of the axe to the forehead isn't surefire, as demonstrated so poignantly here.
It seems unnecessarily brutal and violent. I get that butchering animals is the point of some agriculture, but man. The blunt of an axe? What if he misses? How many swings does it take? How fast does death come from blunt trauma to the skull like that? I'd imagine quickly, but is there any data gathered about this?
Or maybe farming was always like this and I don't visit farmland often enough.

worst case scenario: concussion
best case scenario: temporary neck-pain
