Slaughter

The stunning process is often inadequate, leaving pigs conscious when they go down the slaughter line. U.S. Department of Agriculture inspectors at one slaughterhouse found hogs who "were walking and squealing after being stunned [with a stun gun] as many as four times." The pigs in this picture are still conscious but unable to stand up after falling from the slaughter line. They will be dragged back to the start of the line, slammed into shackles, and their throats will be cut.
