Earlier in 2025, Animal Equality commissioned a paper from Jenny Mace and Veterinary Professor Andrew Knight, to discover the welfare impacts of high-intensity carbon dioxide stunning of pigs. The paper - published in a world-leading veterinary journal - evidenced that acid forms on the pigs’ eyes, noses, and lungs, and the animals show signs of breathlessness, panic, and pain. They determined that this is an unacceptable stunning method and must be banned immediately.
