To answer a previous question, the USDA does allow downer pigs to be slaughtered.
Also, regarding design considerations...
There have been some recent changes in design concepts for the movement of pigs into stunning systems. New designs have eliminated single-file corrals and have instead implemented a type of 'batch processing' method which moves small groups (about 8 for CO2 stunning--depends on machine design) of pig into the stunning area. This greatly reduces the stress level of the animal before stunning. We also eliminated prods and now use an automated herding system. I have seen the new Butina dual backloaders in action (CO2 stunning system) and it is much better than the old single-file system we replaced. In fact, to effectively pass an animal stress audit, you about have to eliminate single-file herding and prodding.
The OD of Etymology doesn't corroborate the etymology offered for "Shambles," and the point of the passage seems to be to editorialize about slaughter, not to provide useful information. I cut it. (Ethan Mitchell, Feb 25, 2006)

This whole article smacks of a vegetarian/vegan wet dream, sure they'd all like to ban meat production first off, but does this article need to reflect that?
How about some actual reality in the article, to give it some balance? ZL3XD (talk) 09:56, 16 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
It does seem rather strange that an article about something would include a footer full of links to things that oppose it, and none to anything actually related to the meat industry. It also included veganism in the "see also" section, which seems rather odd. The article should be focusing on slaughterhouses, not what certain people think about slaughterhouses. - Alltat (talk) 17:40, 29 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

With respect to this edit, I had meant to make a dummy edit for attribution purposes that included just adding a space, not to restore the vandalism. I'm deeply sorry that I accidentally restored the vandalism in doing so. — Red-tailed hawk(nest)15:07, 13 December 2022 (UTC)\]Reply
