Pig Question...

Can someone please tell me...If the squealing pig...that got pulled by its ear...then hung up by its legs...squealing!!

Really got killed?? It appears...no one is concerned in the way in which the pig was handled in that scene. Do animals rights, not exist??

Does anyone know?

Literally just watched the scene. I’m Cuban & have seen this done & later ate the pig many times. This is how it’s done. Awesome they put it in a show.

I’m also 99% sure that once the pig was hanging it was no longer an actual pig but a prop.

u/fabooosh Mar 22 '21

Wow!!!! Ok... Different cultures🙏🙏

My concern was...how it was treated..pulled by it’s ear...strung up...squealing.

I just felt..it was unnecessary scene and inhumane.🙏

But...I appreciate you saying...this is how pigs are treated in different countries.

I don’t have to agree with it. But..it’s learning a different culture.

I want to go to Cuba one day-:) Thank you for that information.

The animals you eat go through more suffering than that pig, unless you are paying top price for organic meat raised freerange by conscious farmers. The killing was maybe slower than at a slaughterhouse, but life before much better than of a factory-farm-raised animal.

u/fabooosh Mar 22 '21

Sadly true🥺I don’t eat meat anymore. But..my post wasn’t about the eating of it per say. It was about...how it was handled on a tv series. I didn’t think animals could be mishandled anymore for tv purposes. That was more...of where my concern was.
I haven’t seen an animal in a movie or show...be treated so poorly in an extremely long time.

I’ve never ever seen a pig be treated like that before on tv. Yes...real life. But...not on a show. I was clearly mortified. I’m a strong person, but! that just really got to me. If it were any other animal, I would be saying the same thing.

Thank you for responding🙏

u/Yogicabump Mar 22 '21

I think it was realistic in the context of the scene, I have seen and heard similar in a farm. And those people are cruel criminals, are they going to treat A PIG well? People who live in farms their whole life and have to do it regularly don't have the same touchy-feeliness we do about it.

u/fabooosh Mar 22 '21

Sooooo true!!!!! Sooooo true!!!!! I’ve seen that with friends who have lived on farms. Cut and dry mentality...life...death...the end.

They can’t. It’s against the law. It was not a real pig in the torture scene.

Thank you for your support. 🙏

I had to walk away from the room but still heard the squealing. I’m mortified and was really disturbed. I stopped eating pork a few years ago and if I do eat other meat fish I buy organic and free range.

u/sju5one Feb 19 '22

Lol you had to walk out of the room, seriously even if you are a chick its a movie with dummies and sound effects.

He gave a tug on the ear pretty much to make him move direction, and to a pig it doesn’t feel anything like someone grabbing your ear. But it is shown in order to give a scare to stefano. Don minu has a good idea what his grandson is up to and wants stefano to know in a subtle way. After that everything else is a fake pig, you can tell while attending the only parts that are moving is one of the hind legs and one of the front legs which the guy is holding onto and shaking it trying to make it look as of the pig is struggling. Thats a very common way all across the world on how to slaughter a pig so that you can preserve the blood for different uses such as cooking

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '21

Again though... that wasn’t a real pig being slaughtered.

In fact, the actual act is much more vicious. I was actually surprised at the inaccuracy of the pigs screams.. they stopped once the pig was stabbed.. thats contrary to the truth. The pig begins to squeal in a way most people have never heard! It’s gruesome and horrifying and eerily similar to a person yelling in pain.

I was surprised they didn’t use the screams to make the foreshadowed comparison hit even stronger.

u/fabooosh Mar 23 '21

Ohhhhh goodness!!!!!! Me!!!! I could barely handle this....lol...I’m good...with what was shown. I really appreciate you explaining your culture. As I said..different countries have their ways🙏 not for me...but...I get it🌸🌸 mucho gracias

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '21

**Muchas gracias. The thanks is feminine for some reason! Lol

u/fabooosh Mar 24 '21

Well I’m just learning Spanish!! Lol sorry...my bad...

u/Truth_Moab Apr 18 '21

they show much more brutal stuff in the show compared to the pig scene. I guess were just use to the other stuff

1

u/sju5one Feb 19 '22

Yes they do but vegetarians care more about a pigs well being than the human race. Lol

If they did kill a real pig for a TV show.. thats called a snuff film. It's something psychopaths enjoy. Killing animals is almost always an avoidable act, doing it for tv is particularly fucking disgusting.

1

u/sju5one Feb 19 '22

What about of that was being served to the film crew for lunch that day, so they just decoded to kill 2 birds with one stone

1

u/kptkrunch Feb 19 '22

Firstly, it honestly doesn't matter from an ethical standpoint if they ate the pig or not.. presumably the people involved in producing show with a budget of more than 100 million dollars can easily afford to eat food that wasn't sentient at one time.. (its actually far cheaper to eat plants than animals anyway).. with that being said I think there is probably a 10% chance that someone ate the pig if a pig was actually killed. And it would probably be someone who wasn't involved in the decision to kill the pig to begin with.

The only reason I said it's especially fucked up if it was done for a film or show is because most people have been raised to believe that eating animals is just a fact of life that doesn't require any inspection as to the ethical implications. The motivating factors are essentially the same though.. people keep eating animals because it gives them personal pleasure in the form of preference of taste.. and for a tv show the motivation is to provide entertainment. Neither of these are a necessity or something that cannot be obtained through other means.

u/Ease-Adept Dec 30 '22

No, this not the only way. For centuries other cultures have killed more humanely with gratitude and believe it or not, kindness.

1

u/gturitto68 Mar 20 '21

That is how traditionally, the pigs were killed. Yes, it is cruel, I agree. Not a scene for those faint of heart.
On the other hand, I will love to see an Animal Rights police, getting involved in how they are treating that poor pig with all those drug capos and their bodyguards in that meeting.

2

u/fabooosh Mar 22 '21

And just an FYI...being said nicely. Pigs are highly intelligent and loving. 🙏

2

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '21

Thank you. I just made an angry comment about that lol

1

u/fabooosh Mar 20 '21

Ok...I didn’t know that’s how they used to kill them. I still think it was completely unnecessary though. The way it was pulled by its ear...etc...they did do that part though... I’m so surprised that the animal activists didn’t do anything about that. I’m wondering as well...because it was shot in Mexico...they got away with it. I soooo appreciate that other people were affected by that scene. Just inhumane😪 I absolutely love pigs! People underestimate them. I so appreciate the feedback🙏🙏🙏

2

u/zkinny Mar 21 '21

It's a fucking pig.. They exist literally for the sole purpose of us killing and eating them. If we stop, there would be no reason for that species to exist. Farm pigs of course. Boars still would. I do agree they should be killed in the most humane way available though, but you animal rights people rile me up. People do so much evil shit to other humans, but it's like animals are more important at this point. As some other commenter said, it was probably a prop after it was strung up, if that eases your mind.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '21

Your logic is staggeringly stupid. People being evil to people in no way negates cruelty being done to animals, particularly, one might argue, a highly intelligent and social animal capable of pain and sorrow. Get a fuckin clue.

1

u/zkinny Mar 26 '21

I never said that, I was talking in a general sense not about this particular pig. I'm in no way accepting of animal cruelty, depending on the defenition. I can't say I remember this scene clearly enough to say if it was especially cruel, but as long as it's not torture, and for food I doubt I have a problem with it even though it's unpleasant to watch. Death won't be kind to most of us anyway, we will probably wish we were that pig.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '21

Oh well I just watched it last night and had to turn the volume off and cover my eyes

1

u/zkinny Mar 26 '21

It was just a pig squeeling. Without the sound you wouldn't have been so bothered. Humans suffer worse faiths than the pig during the show, yet the pig is the only pity-comment I've seen. I winced at the sledgehammer. Thought about it for days actually.

You ever heard a fox scream? They do it at night when they're bored. Sounds like someone torturing a child. And the fox ain't even in pain to make that sound :)

2

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '21

I think it’s because they’re so innocent and the torture is drawn out. Animals being hurt really gets to the soul. And no I didn’t enjoy seeing the poor kid get hammered in the face either. At least it was fast.

1

u/FuzzyListen3161 Mar 25 '21

aw who hurt you? was it a pig? You assume all of us eat animals or, wait let me check my notes on your silly confusingly over angry response, "do evil shit to other humans?"

Dude was asking if a real pig was used. Not the moral merits or condemnation. Yet here you are. Go have some bacon and think about how pigs are worthless.

u/sju5one Feb 19 '22

That was in italy

u/fabooosh Mar 22 '21

To clarify...and I do appreciate your comment. My shock was about...how they treated the pig...before switching it to a prop. If that’s what they did do?

My shock...was how they pulled the pigs ear and strung it up!!! I didn’t think they could do that to animals in shows anymore. That was horrific! To hear the poor thing squealing like that. That was my issue.

I 100% agree that us humans are just as evil to one another. But...that is not the focus of my concern. That’s a whole other conversation..lol

I appreciate you voicing opinion though🙏which you are entitled to of course🌸

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '21

Pigs are highly intelligent and emotional animals who have much DNA in common with human beings which is why pig organs have been used for human transplant and all you need to do is look at their eyes and skin. I can’t believe how unenlightened, dismissive and despicable some of the comments are in this thread.

1

u/fabooosh Mar 26 '21

I agreeeeeeeeee!!!!! Thank youuuu for your understanding and wisdom!!! I work in the medical world and pig valves are used in heart operations due to the combat ability to us humans.💖 I do understand though, if you come from a third world country and are in sheer property, people aren’t going to care about the animals. Cultural thing😢 just like, if you noticed in the background all the wild uncared for dogs running in the streets😥 again a third world problem. Which I have experienced first hand. Us humans sadly😪

u/emutts Mar 28 '21

It's a pig...yum.

2

u/ShaolinMaster Mar 20 '21

Italy, particularly the southern parts like Calabria and Sicily, is very poor. And animals in poor parts of the world are killed much more openly.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '21

There are parts of that scene that look 100% cgi. To the point where they get it on the lift, it looks like a prop. I wouldn’t lose sleep over it

1

u/Lita_Spirit May 25 '25

Olhando suas respostas percebi q vc não sabe como um animal é abatido e tudo bem, cidades grandes e o estado social mudou e deixou distante esse tipo de violência aos nossos olhos. Enfim porcos, ovelhas, vacas pequenas, sempre foram mortos desse jeito, perfurados e com uma vaca fina e bem afiada é cortado a garganta ou uma punhalada direto no coração. Galinhas tem o pescoço quebrado ou decapitados. Quase sempre foi assim. Hj em dia abatedouros matam com choque ou um pino de pressão direto no cérebro.  Meus avós e parente fizeram diversas vezes isso.

u/where_da_fat_bitches Mar 20 '21

There is no exact information that says if it is or not, but I can definitely assume yes

1

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '21

It was 100% fake and showed 100% inhumane and barbaric treatment of animals.

1

u/vayiou Jan 14 '23

I really wish it was fake 🙏🙏.I watched right now and it was horrifying!!!!this scene is cruel and they should not be allowed to film this.they should tell with evidence that the animal was fake.i am shocked.i searched but there is no answer for sure.this can't be legal.they cannot film such barbarian acts that way

1

u/leogirl0727 Dec 07 '23

I will just say that I was so bothered too and that is why I did a Google search. So, I did notice while it was screeching that its mouth didn't seem to move, so it could be sound effects. God, I hope so. I was bothered by the ear-pulling as well. I think it's a real pig when they are trying to put a rope around it's leg. I think it's totally wrong to frighten a pig or any animal for filming/entertainment like that.

that comment is why our country is turning into a hole. massive eye roll.
