It should not take "spy cams" to reveal the standard operating procedure of a fundamental part of our food-chain. I eat meat but I also believe that animal welfare is important. You can't do that in ignorance. Anybody and everybody who wants to know where meat comes from should be able to see how their meat lived and died. Given the mixed interests between parties, wouldn't it be easiest to just have public CCTV in all areas of slaughterhouses? Anyway, CO2 poisoning is a horrible way to kill something. Mammals have a blood-acidity panic reflex. It's objectively cruel. As others have said a pure-N2 environment would allow them to expel CO2, and just faint and die from hypoxia, calmly.
