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.

men... i am a raper. i wrote a song about eating meat and being vegetarian...the song begins with knife sharping and your samples...it's very VERY moving...i am a vegetarian and my girlfriend is too. But it wasn't like that always... according to what have Einstein said, Da Vinci and other famous vegetarians - eating meat is not normal. We are not made to be meat-eatars...anyway...u can be sure that i put this horrible samples to "good" use. To record a song about eating meat, about slaughter-houses...and the Pointa - if ur eating meat that eat your dog instead of a chicken or pig...I know it was hard, but - thanks for sharing this mate...if u ever wanted to hear this song, or just anyone else - write to me @ kozior7@wp.pl
Cheers...
