Reply to comment by ujythrsgfdd in Protesters gather in Vancouver after secret video allegedly reveals actions of animal cruelty at B.C. slaughterhouse by Ophelia-Yup

It's not that black or white. The video shows the animals still concious when they are being cut and just abusive behavior before slaughter that has zero to do with getting them to slaughter. This company has violated so many rules and federal regulations that they have even been hiding tainted meat where animal fecal matter infected with E Coli was literally killing people who consumed it.

Welcome to Halal meat processing.

This is not a mistake, it is how the animal must be slaughtered to be considered Halal.

I believe there are similar rules for Kosher slaughter as well.

Neither are humane.

Yep, same rules for Kosher, to kill and animal in a kosher way they have to follow a process of basically having the cows lean in a way in which blood pools to their head and the cow gets woozy or can even go unconscious, then as quickly as possible you cut the neck artery killing the cow quickly and with "minimal" suffering to the cow. It's not necessarily humane, but it is meant to minimize the suffering of the dying animal.

Except in this case we aren't talking Hallal and many federal regulations were broken. Glad they are being exposed
