[QUOTE="bitwrx, post: 7153630, member: 86972"] More than a grain of truth in some of it, but: - Our vet uses a new blade for each PM. I would have thought that would be sensible, rather than using the same blade for 10 or more. Also, why is she removing the head? - If she's worried about splashed of goo in the face, surely she could wear a mask? Or just be a bit more skilfull. - I'd like to see a pig cough and sneeze while in a snatch wire. They're usually to busy squealing. Hearing protection is the only PPE required. - Factual inaccuracy regarding floor area. Classic mixup between m² and a square with a given linear measurement along its side. GCSE maths that one... Thought vets were bright? I kinda stopped listening after that, but a lot of people without specialist knowledge wouldn't. Deeply cynical to link the current pandemic with livestock farming. But then, that's propaganda for ya; fear sells. The link between human rights and animal rights with regard to abattoirs and cutting plants is a specious one. I'd imagine working in an abattoir is a hard job, both physically and mentally. But the same could be said of many other jobs. Picking caulis, packing taties, picking Amazon orders, driving a delivery van. The pressure should be to make all those jobs better. Ironically, I know working on our intensive pig farm would be far preferable to many, compared to those jobs. [/QUOTE]
