This is why we should be killing pigs with nitrogen, rather than CO2. CO2 is how a mammal determines it is suffocating, meanwhile the air is mostly made up of nitrogen so we ignore it. However, it's precisely this which makes it dangerous to humans working nearby (also the fact that CO2 is heavier than air so you can have open pits), and it's ruled too expensive to do it humanely.

Or we could you know just not gas and kill pigs.

We both know that's not going to happen. If I want to have bacon, would you rather me quickly and painlessly kill the pig, or use a blunt butter knife to kill them?

Maybe we should eat you instead of the pig. I'm pretty sure the pig does not want bacon.

Thanks, now I know you're completely clueless about even the most basic things. Pigs will happily eat bacon.

Pigs will eat just about anything and seem generally happy when they do so.
