Young pigs' slaughter. WARNING: this particular sample is very moving, at least for me. It begins with a cry and slowly fades out as the poor creature dies. Recorded in a country house's open yard near Cabra, S Spain. Sennheiser ME66 + MKH30, Shure FP24 preamp, Edirol R09 recorder. It was very hard for me to record this so I hope it's any use.
EDIT: I feel the need to clarify. This is the traditional way of killing the pig in Spanish (and many other countries) rural environment. It is based on bleeding (severance of the major blood vessels), which is not the norm in industrial slaughter houses nowadays (where stunning is applied previously to reduce suffering). I uploaded this to document a traditional practice - very cruel in my opinion - , for the sake of anthropological interest if you wish. Listeners can extract her/his own ethic/moral implications.

haha to pinkcloud! people are such wimps. to all you veggies out there! it's life... to survive we kill other things and eat them, at least humans in most cases try to make the death somewhat quick and painless. in the wild animals rip their prey to bits and eat them while their still alive. far more horrific then what we do to most of them! ask yourself would you rather have your throat cut or be eaten alive by a lion or some other meat eating pack of animals?

So much for Halal meat then! This is how some people require their animals slaughtered for religious observance. It's enough to make you a vegetarian.
When politicians and do-gooders are extolling the rights of religious groups, this is the sort of sound that should be played to them: good and loud.
