Slaughtering by Electricity
AN electrocuting apparatus has been installed at a meat packing plant in Germany. By.its use one man, who attends to the mechanism, and controls the current, can dispose of about 200 hogs per hour. From an elevated cage the animal is discharged into a trap where it is instantly electrocuted, and dispatched to the cleaning boards. The apparatus appears to be worthy of investigation by interested firms in a country like this, where the necessary electric power is so readily available.
