I don't believe I ever have to be honest. Graphic videos/links to graphic videos have always been deleted

I don't particularly care what group it is personally I just want the least possible suffering for the Animal. I do eat meat but it's mostly organic chicken these days as the animal welfare and slaughter bothers me a great deal. I love bacon but I don't think my craving it is worth the life of some poor pig really. So I don't eat it often.

Even not often is sometimes. So when you eat bacon sometimes do you just give in to your craving?

Even the cats or the local foxes test your conscience because if they get hold of a bird or mouse the animal literally screams. Even the frog that lives in my garden and has escaped cat clutches many times screams when they get a hold of it. Not nice.

Anyway, to answer your question... err... yes people would be pretty upset if someone cut a cat's throat and strung it up by its legs. I'm not sure I want to visit your town if it's A-OK to electrocute them and then fire things into their skull, though . |

As for badgers and foxes, the way we often cull them is probably one of the most excruciatingly painful deaths. Stray cats, I don't think we cull them over here do we? In Europe, they put poison down which we do for rats over here. That's often a long lingering and painful method of culling.

Also nobody has said that having their throat slit does not affect the animals, a lot of people have stated that it's an awful experience either way but the non-stunning methods are quicker and cause less suffering to the animal, people have posted legitimate studies that back up these claims. Perhaps you should read posts more carefully since you seemed to have gotten the wrong end of the stick completely in regards to people's arguments. |

I would be happy with culling badgers and foxes by throat slitting tbh (I don't actually understand the need for culling at all, but accept that it legally goes on), rather than the methods we currently use. They die either way, so rather they are killed by the least painful method thats available.
I didn't realise it was legal to just kill stray cats..nor am I aware that culling cats is needed in this country...so can't comment on that or the methods currently used. But if they are barbaric (arguably the culling itself is barbaric. But again I don't fully understand the reasons for culling animals anyway) and painful, then yes, cutting their throats would be preferable. Any animal that is deemed to have to be killed, I would go for the least painful method possible. At this stage you may maybe bring up putting pets down in vets and how we should maybe be throat slitting for that (given you seem to equate killing an animal for food/good reason, with killing an animal for fun, and appear to maybe think if a psycho wanted to kill a cat, they should do it by stungun and bolt?). Except, that the current methods are mostly painfree anyway as far as I am aware. So no need to change them to add blood to the mix This thead has actually made me think of things I would never have thought of before. I am now wondering if, rather than electric chair or lethal injection...it may be better to slit the throats of those who have been given the death penalty. Though, I imagine the families of the victims may want as much pain as possible to be felt, rather than just the death. Seeing the blood may help them feel they got vengeance or something though. Officials would probably never go for it. Too messy...and too quick. Tibb really makes me think of odd things at times

But as DR pointed out, it obviously affects the animal in the sense that the animal dies. Edit. Though I should maybe say, that throat cutting as a way to die...would only be painless if the cutting was done by someone skilled enough to do it right. Not an amateur throat cutting, which may not even kill the cuttee.

https://www.newscientist.com/article...ous-slaughter/ It wasn't that hard to find just a Google of 'is cutting an animals throat a painless death'. RSPCA says a stunned animal is rendered unconscious. Which is what I'd assumed. There are several PDFs at the bottom of this article which explains why the RSPCA are opposed to halal and kosher slaughter. https://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwe...ghter/factfile

Im sure a video showing each method if death would clear up all this confusion..unfortunatly we dont get treated as mature adults and are stopped from posting video evidence.

I personally wouldn't want to look at that.

You dont have to..the videos links could state what was shown in them leaving it up to the individual to choose for thenselves rather than have some nanny state minded moderator decide for us.

I don't think people don't get it or pretend not to, it's just a moot question when it comes to slaughter methods? Because all you're really asking is "Why do we accept animals being killed and eaten in certain situations but not in others", which is a totally different debate about vegitarianism... it has nothing to do with the throat-slitting. Unless you're happy to see people wandering around killing and eating the neighborhood cats so long as they stun them first .

The reason people have a problem with the idea of going around killing people's pets isn't "because it hurts" . "HAHA I just killed your cat!!" "WHAT??!? Oh... oh my god... what did you do to him... did you stamp him to death? Did you hurt him and cut him and stuff?" "Nah, I electrocuted him so he passed out, then killed him while he was unconscious. He won't have felt a thing" "Oh thank goodness. That's fine then." |

You said that; "there is a train of thought on this thread that throat slitting causes no pain... so if people believe that they should have no issue with animals being killed in this way outside the meat industry" SO If people believe that throat slitting is OK in the meat indistry, it's fine outside of the meat industry. That is your logic here. Therefore If people believe that stunning/bolting is OK in the meat industry, it must be fine outside of the meat industry? Which leads me to the conclusion that you must think that stunning and killing cats is OK so long as it's painless. If you DON'T... then I have no idea why you think that anyone who is OK with throat slitting in the meat industry is also OK with cat murder. Frankly though, i think you're just scrabbling to make a point that you haven't really thought through. |

On the topic of videos though, the WORST animal slaughter video I've ever seen was of pigs being gassed with CO2.
That's one of the most commonly used "nice" Western slaughter methods used for pigs. They screech in terror and climb over each other, at first, slowly dwindling to a guttural rasping sound as they gasp their last few breaths. Horrendous. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 01-11-2017 at 09:39 AM. |

[QUOTE=Toy Soldier;9677617]Of course it does and I don't even know how to make it more simple...

Frankly though, i think you're just scrabbling to make a point that you haven't really thought through.[/QUOTE] No I think you will find that is you and you have not comprehended what I am saying, I have not gone to great lengths such as providing links and proof that throat slitting is painless, I have not said stunning is a great idea, what I have said is I think slitting throats might not be such a stress free experience as is being promoted, so in view of that promotion would the same people promoting the idea of throat slitting as a kinder way to die, be okay with other animals having their throats slit outside the meat industry if there were going to die...whether this be culling or some psycho killing animals is just an example and not one to be taken to heart like you have done. |
