By the way, US department of Agriculture has guidelines for the humane slaughter of livestock, and all must be unconscious. The captive bolt kills usually, but may just render unconscious, and pigs are electrocuted into unconsciousness before slaughter.

I used to work at a slaughter house for horses about 16 years ago and they did it a bit differently there.
Essentially they would run them up the ramp and them pull out a hammer that had a .22 calibre shell in its head and then wack the critter up side the head with it.
It would drop, they would slap a chain around its back hind hoofs, up it went and then a fellow with a chainsaw would cut its head off and then cut it from groin to throat while everything fell out.
Took about 30 seconds if I recall correctly. I don\'t think the thing knew what hit it to tell you the truth.
But I digress ... and some excellent points from many of you about PC. I had heard that immigration had gotten to be a real problem of late in Europe and frankly I\'m surprised it hasn\'t come to more of a head than it already has.
What country was it about a month back having trouble with all the extremist muslims? Denmark? Anything going on with that?
