Moreover, the slaughtering of these animals is inhumane. After all this, the pigs are hung upside down to bleed to death, often while they are fully conscious. According to Keith Mudd, who was quoted in an article published in The Nation, while being slaughtered, the line moves so fast that on occasion workers are sawing the legs off an animal that is not yet dead. The slaughtering of these animals displays a true act of speciesism, which refers to the notion that we, as humans, can control the earth. This type of torture portrays how humans think they are superior enough to dominate over all things that are living.
Humans use animal cruelty to gain a profit and eat high on the hog so to speak.
This is murder at its finest. However, society does not view this as such an act, because it is justified by saying we need food to sustain life. Moreover, the constant pollution to the air, by the odor of pig feces, and the possibility of contaminating the water supply is another form of speciesism. The ability for humans to control and confine pigs in a small area, not large enough for of the amount of pigs stored on these farms, displays domination of the earth and the animals. The earth is dominated by allowing the excessive amount of pigs to flood that specific area with their waste, without the proper removal or storage.
