all that almost never happens, that is footage that has been used in shutting down those particular farms... i have seen most all of that in person and it is all done in a semi-humane way like the metal retractable rod guns that are shot into a cows skull so fast that the cow never knew what happened and dies instantly, they do the same with pigs but really who cares about chickens... and as for the cattle prods that dosent even hurt them, they would cause pain to us but cows are a lot bigger and get past 1000 pounds a cattle prod to them is a spanking to us... a little painful, but nothing to write home about
