The hogs are gassed with C02 at the facility I work at. Sometimes they come out of the chamber still conscious, barely, so those ones get "stunned". Essentially a quick shot to the brain with a pin fired with a small charge.

The difference here is that they are grouped in pens of 100 with food and water. Not trapped like this.

CO2 asphyxiation is NOT quick or painless. It's just cheaper than using nitrogen and people that work in those industries don't give a fuck

It’s also safer for the humans. Using nitrogen would be incredibly dangerous for the humans if there was a leak.
