Dear Sheib - The holocaust was totally evil. Temple Grandin

@@cherylmiller2124 and what we are doing to those animals isnt?

This is incorrect the Nazis didn't care about the welfare of the Jews they put in prison camps

Depends on the factory

Dear Tony - You are correct. The pigs are killed by CO2. The industry uses the word "stunning" for all the methods. There is lots more information on my website - www.grandin.com Thank you - Temple Grandin

@@cherylmiller2124 Thank you for you conformation. I am a slaughterman and have watched all Temple Grandins videos, which are very informative. I am also an organic farmer. I do not consider CO2 stunning/ killing to be humane compared to captive bolt or electric stunning. Then there is a legal requirement in the UK that should protect us from un-stunned meat like kosher and halal. It states," any animal destined for human consumption must be pre-stunned prior to slaughter" The exemption given to muslims and jews to slaughter without pre-stunning in 1932, was on the proviso that the meat from these non stun slaughter practices was for their consumption only. Due however to the fact that the jewish community only eating the front end of any animal they kill, all the rear ends of prime beef, lamb and chicken are sold straight on to the national meat market illegally and I am sick of the abuse of my fellow indigenous people of this once great island.

@@tonyclack5901 Tony - I will see that Temple receives your comments in the morning. I am certain she would enjoy having further conversation with you regarding this. Thank you for your thoughtful reply ... Cheryl (assistant to Temple Grandin)

Dear Tony - I really appreciate your comments. Captive bolt and electrical stunning both induce instantaneous unconsciousness. I have observed many pigs reacting to CO2. Some pigs react with vigorous struggling and escape attempts and in others, the induction, is relatively peaceful. The differences are probably due to genetics. Recently I was shown a video from Switzerland of pigs in a CO2 machine and the reactions were mild. A recent Australian study showed that the percentage of pigs that had a bad reaction ranged from under 1% at one abattoir and up to 42% at another. This difference is likely due to genetics. In the pork industry, abattoirs are often vertically integrated with the pig farms so that different slaughter plants would have different genetics. REFERENCE: Jongman, E.C. et al. (2020) Pre-slaughter factors linked to variation in responses to carbon dioxide gas stunning in pig abattoirs, Animal 2020, 100134. From Temple Grandin

@@cherylmiller2124 Thank you for taking the time to reply to my comment, I understand your statement on genetics as I used to rear organic pigs bought from stock that was listed as not having the stress gene. Just to further comment on kosher slaughter, the jewish people and slaughtermen, do not understand the fact that the severing of the carotid artery will not bring instant unconsciousness as claimed, because the brain is fed also by the vertibral arteries on either side of the spinal column which join up below the brain to create the basilar artery. I remember in a video, you did on this particular subject, that you mentioned that the position of the cut was not in the correct place. To finish I have attached a video which in my opinion is a perfect example of humane stunning with the benefit of heart stop imediately after the stun.

CO2 is heavier than air, so it's easier to contain using gravity. This allows for an open chamber into which a continuous conveyor of pigs can be lowered. CO or nitrogen are lighter than air and would need a sealed chamber, which would be more costly and process much fewer pigs at a time. Also, producing nitrogen at scale for this purpose would be costly as well. Might as well do electric stunning.

I respect that your honest but it is important to care about the treatment of animals we get our meat and other resources from

@@andrewkronebusch8328 YOU ABSOLUTELY have the right to care about your causes. I also have the right not to care about them. I would never harm an animal but other then that, I don't care. Keep the beef, pork and chickens safe and healthy to eat, I am happy.

@@larryobriensr.1258 Well, it might be of interest for you to know that animals that are not as stressed before their deaths produce better quality meat that also last longer than those that are stressed and fearful before death, so there is an additional interest to ensure humane treatment.

I care for humans first and animals are 3ay down on the list. My favorite pets are those wrapped in white paper and in the freezer. Produce great tasting beef, chicken and pork and I am happy. Please take care of the children of the world, not the animals.

Larry you are one sick fuk.

The straight section she keeps talking about is known as "two weeks to flatten the curve".

Dear Miss Lee - There are definite welfare concerns with CO2. I have observed that there are genetic differences on how pigs react to CO2. Some pigs have a very bad reaction and others are calm. The industry has avoided looking at this problem. I had a study set up to determine if pig breeding could be used to reduce bad reactions. One big company cancelled my study and others refused to participate because they do not want to look inside the box. Sincerely, Temple Grandin

Then I suggest you talk to some military officers
