I'm making this post in response to the deletion of the recent animal cruelty post that's thread was closed due to graphic violence against animals. I didn't actually watch the video, because it was deleted before I found the thread, but would like to resume a similar discussion here to what was intended, without the actual video.
From the comments, I take it that the video was about the inhumane killing of pigs at some farm. Many of the comments expressed discontent at the video, but an assumption that the case in question is probably rare, so there's no need to worry.
Although I don't know the severity of the cruelty in the video, I know that cruelty in slaughterhouses is a serious problem. Laws pertaining to how animals should be slaughtered are often broken in these slaughterhouses.
Documentaries have been filmed in which someone goes undercover into one of these slaughterhouses and witnesses horrific things. Cows witnessing those before it getting killed, occasionally being de-limbed or skinned while still alive, hogs being lowered screaming into boiling water, etc. And these are not rare cases. These are primary slaughterhouses whose meat thousands end up eating. Look up more information for yourself if you're interested.
