The use of carbon dioxide to stun pigs before slaughter is legal and widespread — but activists believe the industry doesn't want you to know what it looks like.Chris Delforce is remarkably calm for someone who knows this story could put him in jail."You might get caught, you might end up in prison for it, you might end up being physically attacked. There are all sorts of risks that go into getting this kind of footage.Activists looking at a computer screen.
Under the cover of darkness, they wanted to bring to light a practice that is legal and widespread but something they believe the industry doesn't want you to know what it looks like — the use of carbon dioxide gas to stun pigs before slaughter.A metal cage known as a "gondola", where pigs are stunned.
The animals are moved into steel cages called "gondolas" and then lowered into a high concentration of CO2, where in around 20-30 seconds they lose consciousness. Mr Delforce believes the pork industry hasn't been straight with consumers about what that process looks like. After climbing through the machinery, he reached the ceiling area of a gas chamber where he would spend around nine and a half hours, as hundreds of pigs were slaughtered just metres below him."At that moment, I'm thinking I'm the world's biggest idiot. What am I doing? This is crazy," he said.
whats next live feeds from break and enters? this is criminal activity supported by the ABCaustralia.
I would also add Pork has the worst type of worm you can get... goes straight into the brain. Many people are walking around with this condition without knowing it.
Get a life ABC.
I'm so sick of the cruelty. They are such beautiful individuals dying on terror.
i cant stop crying. i cant see myself biting into another piece of pork until the system improves.
All the farmers I know, say that the pigs know exactly what is about to happen to them. And many try to escape. Young bulls, on the other hand, don't seem to understand what is going on at all.
Vegans are often the types to also be complaining about the 'privileged white cis-male' trope while being so privileged that they can even be picky eating vegans 😂
The pork industry DOESN’T want you to see it. They literally lobbied to create laws to stop it from being disseminated
Pork is unclean. Do not eat pork. Eat beef, lamb or goat instead.
You want to be sick, go to a halal throat cutting exercise….oooooh, no, cos you might be mistaken for one of the goats, sorry you’d be more like one of the sheep…..🤪🤪🤪
Your urge to draw your next breath does not come from a lack of oxygen but from a build up of Carbon dioxide. Using carbon dioxide to induce unconsciousness stimulates this response, the animals go unconscious striving to breathe but not being able to. Nitrogen would be better?
Now do Islamic slaughter houses .. the seem exempt from stunning their animals.
I saw it too, the look on their faces was kinda ruined by the fact I was eating a bacon and egg sandwich with the bacon grease running down my chin. Damn I'm needing another one. Thank a lot.
So were they charged with breaking and entering private property?
