It's so easy to do this in a more dignified manner. These guys are lazy fucks who don't care at all about the animals suffering. If they actually followed the guidelines that were set in place by the FDA this process would be as humane as possible. It's just sad that these guys can't follow a few simple rules.

For those who murder animals kindly aren't looking into how the industry really is... They'd then know, people are speaking up, loud and clear. Its an INDUSTRY. it's about the MONEY. You don't need to eat meat, never have. You want this ugly to stop, don't buy meat. You are an herbivore, not a carnivore. You've been lied to by the meat and dairy industry for so long, people are figuring it out. You just got to look with both eyes. Lots of videos here to teach you ALL about it.

@Igentenos Once you figure out, that animals are sentient beings, understanding and feeling pain, torture, and really don't want to die, just like us, you might have a light bulb moment. There is no difference, killing in slaughterhouses of horror or your sweet barn of death. Murder is murder. Thou shalt not kill PERIOD. Not 'Thou shall not kill except for pigs, cows, dogs, chickens. turkeys, ..." Whats the difference,?: Murder humanely? Its ridiculous, and all wrong.

They say the system broke down. This is such a bunch of crap. IT IS PEOPLE WHO ARE BROKE DOWN EMOTIONALLY AND ETHICALLY. People don't care. This isn't just this plant, it is a WORLD PROBLEM. PEOPLE TREAT ANIMALS EGREGIOUSLY. Love a dog, eat a cow. Its all wrong. Murder is murder, but this is worse. It is torture and murdering of babies. Want to fix this 'problem' Stop eating meat which is killing you anyways. Heart disease, cancer...all from meat and dairy. Go VEGAN
