There’s nothing “humane” about killing pigs in gas chambers

CO2 gassing is standard practice among the world’s largest pork producers, but not because it’s more humane, as the industry promises.

For years, the industry has lead consumers to believe gassing is, in fact, the most humane way to kill pigs, that the pigs are unconscious throughout the process and drift off slowly and painlessly into a never-ending sleep.

But if there’s one thing the industry can be absolutely sure of, it’s that these pigs are not asleep. As the CO2 enters their lungs, the pigs thrash at the sides of the gas chamber and shove their noses through the bars, trying, in vain, to escape.
