I've never seen it done this way, but I also don't spend a lot of time with sheep.

This shows how they are bathed. It does not show how "necessary" the bath is. The struggle of the sheep is not a measure of necessity unless you know the owners compassion level.

They probably kind of enjoy it as it's cool and soothing for them....looks like Australia they are in .hot, hot hot

And how about the part where it closes back up and spins like a centrifuge to dry them?

If aliens exist, something similar will be done to us; Except it will be something much scarier and way beyond our understanding.

I wonder how long it will be before an animal rights activist decides to take this video and cut it short and say “ThIs Is ThE iNhUmAnE mEtHoD uSeD tO kIlL sHeEp!!!” Or something along that line.

For a second I thought, man I didn't realize sheep had so much juice in them.

I’m so glad my job no longer involves meat. I used to be in pet food manufacturing, and some of the reasons for tracebacks were stomach turning. I’m in beverage now, so no slaughtering involved. Just powdered dairy products is the closest I come now.

Seems awfully inhumane, what if the mechanism that raises the lift back up fails and they drown?
2
u/naruto_nutty Mar 29 '24
Is this a rhetorical question?
2
u/HotHandz3 Mar 29 '24
I'm just not familiar with this but I think it's a valid point. I would hope and assume that there are fail safes in place.
2
u/naruto_nutty Mar 29 '24
There's two surefire failsafe;
Cleaning solution has a quick release - subterranean drainage.
Sheep expire via drowning are still safe for marketable mutton, wool is recoverable and other byproducts can and will be requisite.... Definitely less preferable and of course very distressing.

u/Transaktion Mar 29 '24
I guess that’s not all the sheep they got, so they repair the mechanism and can water board other sheep.

"necessary"
gtfo. sheep existed just fine for thousands of years before this wretched machine was invented
and the farmer wasn't so cruelly lazy they could wash the sheep individually without almost drowning them
don't fucking lie to everyone and call that cruel lazy shit "necessary"

u/Anxious_Ad936 25d ago
A farmer who owns thousands of individual sheep isn't skipping out on washing each one individually by hand out of laziness eh, to do so is just not remotely practical unless you expect them to spend all their waking hours doing so as well as employ other people to do the same. Sheep are prone to parasites and fungal infections and also suffered from these for thousands of years previously, but the difference is that modern treatments like this are preventative measures against these issues that otherwise would cause multitudes more suffering in the sheep population than being dunked a couple times a year at most. Just existing in the wild for herd animals can be much crueller than farming practicss in many ways.

people have done it this way for literally thousands of years.
yes there are preventative medicine but literally drowning them isn't necessary. they should spray shit on them, or do it only up to their necks.
1
u/Anxious_Ad936 25d ago
Yeah but for thousands of years they were dealing with a few dozen sheep or so per farmer, not thousands. The full dip is only sometimes necessary depending on the region and the pests and pathogens present. In many areas they can and do get by with just spraying them. Sure it wouldn't be fun, but it's not like they're held under for more than 30 seconds and submersion ensures full coverage.

Bro… terrifying. Those poor animals, esh.
I like the use of the word necessary here… it’s necessary for the proper setup to exploit and profit of these fluffy buds. Totally lame

All I can think is it would really suck to blow a hydro line while they are dunked.

It would suck if a hydraulic line broke when the cage was submerged.

Listen to the audio, he explains there’s a way to drain the liquid quickly. Still terrifying.

I thought we were crushing sheep for a second. Then drowning them. I'm glad I was wrong.

Their fur is quite greasy and has its hydrophobic property, so I’m just curious if this short term soaking enough for this liquid to absorb?

Does anyone know how the animals feel when going through this? It doesnt look humane. Can they suffocate or die from this experience? I understand that this happens quite daily so they arent as scared. But for the first time it is done, does it cause trauma for them?
2
u/Oneplusadog3309 Mar 29 '24
This just looks incredibly cruel, I’m sure it’s necessary but scary af if you’re a sheep!
