Pigs were roasted alive in coronavirus mass-extermination

Iowa s largest pork producer has killed thousands of pigs with a gruesome mass-extermination method amid a coronavirus-fueled oversupply slowly roasting and suffocating the animals to death, an investigation revealed Friday.

Iowa Select Farms was caught on camera using the disturbing so-called ventilation shutdown, where farmers close off airways to the hogs and pump hot steam into their barns overnight to slaughter them, according to The Intercept.

Footage of the practice reveals the heartbreaking cries of pigs as they succumb to death at temperatures more than 120 degrees, according to the outlet. It also reveals that some of the animals survived the horrifying ordeal while surrounded by piles of pig corpses.

Pretty horrible. Pigs are actually quite intelligent I’m told, more so even than dogs. Unfortunately, there is also bacon.
