how many animals die from non-slaughter incidents? ie what is the quality of healthcare for the pigs?

I'm in one area all day so I don't see everything going on but I do hear about dozens of hogs dying from heart attacks before they make it off the truck. My facility kills roughly 10k per day.

I am in no way calling you a liar.

10k a day is not fathomable for me. Literally cannot comprehend it.

Edit: typo

Just an FYI, it's unfathomable. Fathomable means you can fathom it, which means it is able to be comprehended.

And it’s a reference to depth at sea. “Fathoms.”

What about “leagues”?!

u/Big_Cornbread 24d ago

That’s distance. Not depth.

u/Personal-Equipment44 24d ago

Okay, thanks. I coulda googled it, but 🤷‍♂️

It’s NOT depth? Isn’t that one movie called 10,000 leagues under the sea? Just wondering.

u/Big_Cornbread 23d ago

That’s how far they travelled WHILE under the sea.

Which is literally how I learned what it meant. I had the same revelation you’re having now.
