aliceBB Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Wrong. The instant that the jugular is severed, the animal loses sentience and falls into immediate unconsciousness. It experiences none of the anthropomorphic projections that you imagine. I expect thats what they tell you in your mosque or synagogue and I wish it was true, but it isnt. Anthropomorphic has nothing to do with it, physiologically mammals respiratory tracts are pretty similar and if you had your throat slit however sharp the knife you would not pass out instantly.

If one was to find oneself on an island with only a knife as a weapon, would it not be the most preferred method of death? Surely this would be less painful then strangling any animal, even a chicken. The only other option would be to stab the animal in the heart, but that is dependent on whether you know where the heart is on the animal. If you look at the animal kingdom, they always go for the throat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ sheffield Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 The worst thing I can see from that video footage is that these blokes really enjoy their job, they enjoy the suffering. I doubt it would take much for any of those involved to kill a human, they are monsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Rich Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 Wrong. The instant that the jugular is severed, the animal loses sentience and falls into immediate unconsciousness. It experiences none of the anthropomorphic projections that you imagine. The real question is, if you were about to have your throat cut would you rather be conscious or stunned unconscious. I think that speaks for itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that speaks for itself. Yes, it so does. Anyone would prefer an infallible, instantaneous loss of consciousness by a trained and monitored professional (throat cut, carotid artery slit, blood pressure immediately released) to a fallible, inadequate electric stun-gun fired by a clumsy boor.

SUPERTYKE Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 The way of animal husbandry is destined to deteriorate as populations grow - it's a top reason for going veggy - but I'm sure you'll all cry into your pork dinner this evening - me included.
