Undercover Video Appears To Show Pigs Conscious, Shaking In Pain As They Face Slaughterhouse Death Pigs that appear covered with feces and sores are headed for processing in the video at one of the largest U.S. pork producers.

Undercover video recorded by an animal rights activist at one of the largest U.S. pork producers appears to show pigs being beaten and dragged across the slaughterhouse floor as workers cheer and throw blood-soaked towels at one another.
An edited version of the video, posted to YouTube on Wednesday, shows pigs covered in feces and riddled with puss-filled sores headed for the production line. It also shows numerous pigs that appear to be conscious and shaking in pain as they are being slaughtered. Federal law requires livestock to be stunned before they are killed.
"That one was definitely alive," one male employee, whose face is intentionally blurred in the video, shouts as pig carcasses move down a conveyor belt. "If USDA is around, they could shut us down," a man who appears to be the same employee says later, referring to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which regulates meat processors.
