    All this in the news about this coronavirus, led me to watching YouTube videos. I watched video about a market in Wuhan. Other videos about the Chinese treatment of dogs.

    The videos I saw on their treatment of dogs were vicious and brutal. Dogs were skinned alive and tortured to death.


    It got me thinking about what Irish practices are when it comes to farming for meat. When animals like cows, pigs, sheep, here in Ireland are slaughtered for meat, are they tortured to death like the way dogs are tortured in China? Or is there a different method here?

    This isn't a thread about farming. The answer is no, slaughter houses are regulated here.

    🙈🙉🙊

    Yes we torture animals to death in Ireland, each county has 76,394 torture centres with doors made of bread and windows made of potatoes and the people involved are invisible.

    I know a fella who is married to a women who once said hello to a man she assumed was a farmer.
    According to EU mandates - All animals in Ireland are tortured for at least 4 minutes during their first year.
    It's to stop them getting uppity.

    The videos of dogs being tortured and skinned alive are made by the same scum bags that make videos of themselves torturing animals here in the west, being a scumbag is a universal ability across all nations and races. The majority of dogs are dispatched same as pigs and sheep.
    I don’t know why they eat dog because it’s terrible, I had some last time there and it’s god awful.

    Animals here are stunned and then bled out. It’s quick and efficient and the plant is laid out so live animals don’t see dead animals nor others being dispatched.

    My father was a qualified butcher and he always said that an animal cut and bled out with a sharp knife and a confident hand never suffered, the cr being so clean it is painless and loss of blood causing loss of consciousness quickly. He dispatched hundreds.

    Animals are only tortured by sadists and they deserve locking up.
