A 2023 investigation showed that sheep and pigs would continue to shake and thrash after having their throat slit, with some even attempting to lift their heads and stand. Pigs will often continue to thrash for minutes, bashing their heads and bodies against the metal walls. - Captured at Wal's Bulk Meats, Stowport TAS Australia.
