How do organic farms slaughter their animals?

Question by Magzifa: How do organic farms slaughter their animals?
Do they use the same methods as intensive, i.e boiling, crushing skinning etc or is it slightly more humane? I can’t think of a humane way to kill an animal other than injection, so would organic farmers kill their livestock more efficiently?

Best answer:

Answer by babybaby200968
Organic simply means that the animal lives a better life. Abattoirs do not care for animal welfare (although they may claim to). I know of some farms that slaughter their animals on-site – which is slightly more humane as it reduces traveling costs and stress levels for animals in transit.

Mainstream abattoirs are only interested in the sheer numbers of animals they kill and animal welfare does not come into it. Abattoir workers are thugs who I would personally not want to live next to. With two small children (and an extra one on the way), I would rather live next to a Paedophile than an Abattoir worker. At least with the Paedophile, you know to be on your guard.

What do you think? Answer below!
