Do animals suffer when they are slaughtered?
Do animals suffer when they are slaughtered? Animals in slaughterhouses also undergo terrible psychological suffering. In addition to the distress of not knowing where they are, they see other animals being killed, and they hear their cries. All this is terribly frightening to them. This happens after a very harsh journey from farms. Can animals be killed painlessly? The most humane methods are those which cause a rapid loss of blood so that death is brought about as quickly as possible. These include ventral neck cuts (for poultry, sheep and goats) and chest sticking (for cattle, sheep, goats and pigs)....
