Will a hangover stand in the way of converting this meat eater? Quit waiting for the "Perfect" day to do outreach. We talk about his uncle's farm, the word humane, pigs and gas chambers, hot dogs, why what happens to animals is so hidden from us and much more!

Gas Chambers EU
eurogroupforanimals.org/files/eurogroupforanimals/2020-03/CO2%20stunning%20EfA%20position%20paper%202019.pdf
France 15-18% / Spain 85% / Germany 85% / UK 86% / Denmark 95% / Sweden 100% / The Netherlands 43%
sentientmedia.org/nothing-humane-about-killing-pigs-gas-chambers
Spain, Germany, and Denmark rank among the top five EU countries for pig production. Together they combine to slaughter over 100 million pigs per year. Somewhere between 85 and 95% of those animals are killed using CO2.
Gas Chambers UK
assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/778588/slaughter-method-survey-2018.pdf
86% of pigs were stunned with high concentration CO2 with almost all of the remaining 14% being stunned through electronarcosis.
Gas Chambers US
awionline.org/awi-quarterly/2016-winter/higher-welfare-method-stunning-pigs-gains-ground
In the United States, federal regulations require that pigs be stunned prior to slaughter by one of four methods: electricity, chemicals (gas), captive bolt device, or gunshot. The smallest slaughter plants generally use gunshot or captive bolt; mid-sized plants often use electricity, and the nation’s largest pork companies—Smithfield Foods, Tyson Foods, and JBS USA—mostly use carbon dioxide (CO2) gas to stun pigs.
Gas Chambers in Australia
https://www.australianpork.com.au/about-pig-farming/stages-pork-production
Approximately 85% of pigs are stunned with carbon dioxide (CO2) gas while the remainder receive electrical stunning. The pigs are checked for unconsciousness before being exsanguinated (bled out).
https://kb.rspca.org.au/knowledge-base/is-carbon-dioxide-stunning-of-pigs-humane/
‘Stunning’ prior to slaughter is legally required in many countries including Australia. It is intended to cause unconsciousness so that slaughter may be carried out without fear, anxiety, pain, suffering, or distress. The most common methods to stun pigs are electrical stunning and exposure to high concentrations of carbon dioxide gas (CO2).
Gas Chambers in Canada

humanefood.ca/pdf%20links/Pigs_fact_sheet_CCFA_Apr16final.pdf
At slaughter time, the pigs are moved through a tight chute and workers stun them using one of
three methods: electricity, gassing by carbon dioxide, or captive bolt.
sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S175173112030166X
Using carbon dioxide (CO2) for stunning pigs at slaughter is common in Europe. The use of group stunning is a major advantage with CO2, which is done without restraining the pigs and with minimized human contact. However, high concentrations of CO2 have been known for decades to cause pain, fear and distress in pigs before loss of consciousness, and the stunning method is clearly associated with animal welfare concerns.
