People want their bacon butties more than they care about this
This just in: meat eaters shocked to discover industry centred around killing things to then eat their flesh isn’t very nice!
The omnis won’t want to hear this. They inhabit a magical world where animals that are being raised to be killed live a blissful life and have their lives snuffed out painlessly.
Ah yes, but this is irrelevant to me because I only get my meat from my cousin’s brother’s uncle’s pet labrador’s owner’s nephew’s dad’s farm where the animals are all hosted at the Hilton and are supplied with weekly pedicures.
>The RSPCA immediately shut down several farms once The Independent showed them the footage
Good shit RSPCA, this stinks if a combination of future serial killers and complete ineptitude from the farm’s managers. Hope this doesn’t put people off them, they’re great at what they do.
No shit, did you think they were treated like newborn babies?
RSPCA approved farms are an oxymoron anyways. You can’t be for animal welfare whilst eating them…
I’m looking forward to a future where factory farming is banned. As middle class as it may sound, until we come up with viable alternatives, meat should be treated as a luxury and bought very locally from trustworthy small farms, unless you have the option to hunt for yourself. It is unfortunate that hunting isn’t a realistic option in this country, as it is far and away the best and most ethical way of sourcing meat.
Why would farmers treat pigs well when they are only bred for money and will be slaughtered at the end? Farmers care for their livestock for only as long as they need to, it’s why they kicked up a fuss during lockdown and slaughterhouses were slaughtering fewer animals due to a smaller number of staff on site. Animal agriculture is cruel. If you are surprised that an industry whose purpose is the death of animals is cruel then you need to pay closer attention to where your food comes from.
Why don’t they just treat animals with respect ffs? What’s so difficult about it
I eat meat, but it’s obviously wrong. So much cruelty done to animals so we can have meat, milk, leather etc. It’s all wrong and there’s no point lying to ourselves about it. People who eat meat don’t like to think that they’re on the wrong side of history, because we like to feel good about ourselves, but in the future I believe we’ll be seen as absolutely barbaric for the way we treat animals today. It’s just pure selfishness, it’s not like we need these things to survive anymore we’re not tribal hunter gatherers.
People who kill for a living have little empathy for the things they have to kill. There’s a huge issue with what working in these places does to you but we demand cheap 24/7 meat with every meal and money is more important. Easy to get things spruced up for an inspection and really the RSPCA shouldn’t support anything that involves for profit death otherwise they end up looking like mugs as in this situation. Was barely a lifetime ago most of us would have had meat a couple of times a week and even then we used more of the animal than we do now. Watch land of hope and glory if you find yourself a bit on the fence here.
Reminder for all animal lovers who eat meat that pigs are just as intelligent if not more so than many dog breeds
RSPCA aren’t complicit in the harm of animals being slaughtered; they’re softening the **cruelty** factor involved as part of the process *to* slaughter.
As I read some of the replies, I get you. But it can *never* be looked at as **if they’re going to be slaughtered anyway what difference does it make to kick them about first**.
Plus, allowing the cruel acts that are discussed and elaborated on here in these cases, allows a more deeply concerning set of behaviors to be enabled, unchecked and unchallenged.
The RSPCA *did* the right thing here, there’s no question.
I wish I were shocked.
I went vegan back in March and try not to support animal agriculture but try not to push the subject on people/family. I find the whole ethics debate a weird circle because, at the end of the day, the animal in question is being born and raised for food.
At least the RSPCA shut down the mentioned farms.
The preachy vegans are out in force on this thread
There do seem to be an awful lots of these “isolated incidents”.
When are people going to realise that this is normal, every-day treatment.
Just a reminder that here in the UK 86% of all pigs are put into gas chambers. The substance is aversive, it’s demonstrably traumatising and their screams can be heard from outside the slaughter compound. You could even have exceptional welfare on these farms, but when they go to slaughter they still have atrocities committed to them in the name of the consumer.
We all think we understand just how bad it is, but watch it [here](https://youtu.be/-7hAELEBjX4) and judge for yourself.

Humans also suffer from being made to inflict huge amounts of suffering.
>Abattoir work has been linked to multiple mental health problems – one researcher uses the term “Perpetrator-Induced Traumatic Syndrome” to refer to symptoms of PTSD suffered by slaughterhouse workers. I personally suffered from depression, a condition exacerbated by the long hours, the relentless work, and being surrounded by death. After a while, I started feeling suicidal.
Pigs have the IQ of a 3 year old human. Not eating meat is the only solution.
Putting RSPCA on it doesn’t guarantee anything because the RSPCA is an absolutely useless organisation
Why are humans so disgusting?? There’s absolutely no need to abuse any animal, even those headed to slaughter
You’ll be shocked to find out they get killed as well.
This thread is riddled with angry vegan propaganda, turn back now.
Fuck the RSPCA they spend all their money pursuing stupid expensive prosecutions against disabled people – when I was practising I had three separate trials where the RSPCA were paying private senior barristers to prosecute 2 day mags court trials of old people with learning disabilities that forgot to feed their cats. Clearly there’s an issue but the RSPCA ran up costs of 1000s£ for what? so some cats could be put down and an old man can’t get a cat anymore. not really sure that’s why aunty Dorris left them her estate
Know what? Why am I not even surprised and even more so why the fuck does this no longer elicit a meaningful emotional response from me.
