A pig is shot with a rifle - The electrical stunning device at Wal's would frequently be broken, meaning that workers would switch to stunning sheep and pigs using a rifle, causing even more pain, fear and suffering. Pigs were seen to thrash violently for minutes after being shot with a rifle, even after their throats had been slit. Some pigs were observed being shot multiple times, after the first bullet didn't cause unconsciousness. - Captured at Wal's Bulk Meats, Stowport TAS Australia.
