Kris: You're live.
Emily: We're gonna see these pigs. They're going to be taken to the CO2 chambers.
Emily: We're in Manchester.
Emily: Manchester, England. [note: technically in Dukinfield]
Emily: In just moments, they're going to go inside. Into the gas chamber.
Kris: We're live on YouTube. We're live on YouTube.
Kris: Here, Em, can you take it? Come here.
Guard: Can you guys move back? Kris: Yeah, let's go
Emily: I'm gonna walk with you guys we're gonna go around. [Guard yells something]
We're gonna go back to the chambers. C'mon.
Okay c'mon. Okay we're still good. Let's go.
So we're gonna be going down this beautiful path, it's a dog walking path.
Lovely England countryside here.
People walk their dogs here, it looks beautiful.
As we always say...
We always like to say that you know that "it doesn't happen here", because it's lovely.
Yesterday, we were in the English countryside in Essex. It was beautiful!
You would never think there is a slaughterhouse there so what we're doing
right now - if you've seen the video 'The Nicest Way To Die' or if you've seen any of the
undercover co2 chamber footage, you can hear the pigs.
What they do in this slaughterhouse they have a back load or six.
They put the pigs in those chambers, they rotate it down,
big gas chamber the lower they go the worse the gas and it's
a very slow and painful death.
So here we are back here in this dog walking path. Over here to your left is
where the chambers are. Once the pigs are dead, they take them up this tunnel over
there, they process the meat, they cut up the pigs, they put them into tins,
and they sell them as cheap meat. So we're going to go up here and we're gonna hear them
People walk their dogs they hear this, they just keep walking.
So this is right on the dog path, we're gonna come up here, I'm gonna be quiet, we're gonna listen.
You'll hear it—here the chamber rotating as they bring them down. [grinding, clicking machinery, constant]
Just wait.
(clanging of slaughterhouse machinery)
Emily: It never stops
(sound of pig screaming)
I don't know how much you guys can here yet, as I don't know how good the microphone is
You can hear them screaming, they're a little farther away. They'll be coming closer to right behind this wall.
She's even heard them before. You can hear them hitting the pigs, yelling at them
Whistling at them
She's talked to one of the workers here,
who always has to go into work on a drug or something because he can't handle it
not surprising
I don't know if you can hear them screaming right now
They're deeper in
Stay with us if you're there stay with us
Cos they're gonna come closer
You won't see anything
It's almost worse that way
Cos they are going to be right behind this metal,
a couple feet away,
dying
incredibly painfully.
Screaming, and we can't do anything about it
Because the law protects that
that's legal.
That's what's crazy
We can even hear them from the parking lot when they're screaming
They're already yelling at them
I'm gonna turn you guys around again
in case it helps
just listen
Be patient, I know it's YouTube, you want it to happen right now, just it's live—be patient.
(sound of slaughterhouse machinery)
Emily: I don't know yeah but it's usually not right there
Other (on phone): I'm outside a gas chamber
it's a slaughterhouse in Manchester
they gas pigs
They force them into a gas chamber and gas them to death
Kris: they carry them around over there
So guys, cos I know, if you're there - I've never done live stream I've no idea what I'm doing
I don't even know if there's people there
but I know on youtube if anything is not happening for two seconds
people are doing something else so
I'm gonna entertain you here for a second and I mean it's not about that but I just want you to pay
attention
This morning I came - well we've been here came back here
I have the recording
It's gonna happen eventually but i guess i just don't know how long people are going to
stay if you're there
It was incredibly loud because we were out in the parking lot way where we
started here then we came back here
(sound of pig screaming)
I don't know if you can hear or if you heard that right now
they're getting closer but
it's a big place they have to unload all those pigs
they have to bring them in.
load them into the things what the back loaders do and these are the co2
chambers are it's what we have like the most humane way to kill pigs we say that
they gently fall asleep
If you watch the footage you see them shaking it's, it's . . . .
(sound of pig screaming)
They're screaming right now I don't know if you can hear that you're on an iphone
thing I don't know when it gets really close you'll hear
anyways, they go into these chambers, like a cage and it's like a constant
rotation which is what you hear - I don't know if you can hear the churning sound like
this mechanical churning it's just constantly going even though there's not
pigs it just keeps going, and they put some pigs in
It's a slow process, as they breathe it in it forms acid and your mucous membranes
So you're literally burning from the inside out - it's like someone's pouring acid
into your body and they'll shake and they scream, and it's very slow and it's
incredibly painful and that is our high standards you know high
You know, it's a "high standard".
This is the UK the UK is held up as an example of phenomenal animal welfare
you know and it's not about one country being better than another because it's
everywhere and that's the whole point I just came from Ireland, I gave a whole
speech in Ireland they use these chambers. They use the very same chambers
America uses them a lot
it's almost everywhere
And in the end it doesn't even matter what method we use,
honestly there's no there's no nice way to do it
they're terrified
You can hear them in this giant building screaming in different parts
And once they finally, when they load them up
at some point - I don't know exactly at what point of the process. They're right next to where we are
When we were waiting for a truck i was out in the parking lot
and Toronto Pig Save has sent this
virtual reality headset I've never seen them (maybe you have) you put on these
glasses, you put on headphones
somehow they filmed something in three dimensions so that you can turn around
you see everything and
a group called animal equality did
footage in a slaughterhouse
well actually the whole thing you got from the baby pigs but you're there like
it's like you're literally there you can turn around
you see all of the pigs
in their stalls and the gestation crates and then you're in a farrowing crate
with a mother
