Killing pigs and bloodletting skills

When you kill a pig, the blood you put into the knife edge of the pig's chin will gush out, so the deeper you put it, the better. After you insert it, you need to turn the knife (90 degrees), so that the blood can be ejected from the body under pressure, which plays a role in bloodletting and makes the pig die faster.

nbsp? I believe everyone has seen pigs or eaten pork. As the saying goes, pigs have never eaten pork and have never seen pigs run. Domestic pigs are generally for human consumption, and killing pigs in our countryside can often solve the lives of pigs with one knife.

Knife killing

The traditional way of killing people in rural areas of China,

Four strong men tied the pig, and the key point was to let the pig's legs hang in the air, so that the pig could only howl and not move.

After that, the knife hand inserts the sharp knife into the pig's neck as deep as possible. After insertion, turn the knife (90 degrees) and let the blood out of the body under pressure, which will play the role of bloodletting and make the pig die faster.

This method requires the rich experience and sharp skills of the knife hand.

If the incision is not deep enough and the bleeding time is not long enough, the pig will not be completely killed, which will bring the embarrassment of running around with blood.

Death by electric shock

Industrialized pig slaughtering method,

220V conventional electricity, through a device similar to headphones, hit the pig's head. The reason why it is placed on the head instead of the heart is to let the current pass through the pig's brain and make the pig faint instantly, so the electric shock, in fact, in most cases, only makes the pig faint instantly. In the next time, pigs should be killed by bloodletting immediately.

Industrialized workshops are all assembly lines. The pigs were driven into the electric shock room and fell in batches. Then hang upside down and enter the bloodletting workshop for bloodletting.

shoot dead

This method is used in Europe around 1930 (1930 is a wonderful age, which I will talk about later).

The so-called gun is not a traditional gun, but a gun specially used to kill animals. Its power and penetration will be relatively weak, but the bullets used are bullets from 9 mm rifles. The gun looks like this:

The specific operation is that the strong man ties up the pig, loads the bullet, aims at the pig brain and shoots.

The bullet penetrated the pig's brain, causing the pig to fall to the ground and die instantly, without much struggle and blood spatter.
