The hog is herded in from the stockyard,then stunned with an electric gun. It is lifted onto a conveyor belt, dazed but not dead,and passed to a waiting group of men wearing bloodstained smocks and blank faces.They slit the neck, shackle the hind legs and watch a machine lift the carcass into the air,letting its life flow out in a purple gush, into a steaming collection trough.The carcass is run through a scalding bath, trolleyed over the factory floor, and thendumped onto a table. Men slit along its hind tendons and skewer the beast with hooks. It is again liftedand shot across the room on a pulley and bar, where it hangs with hundreds of others.
