While “gas chambers” rightfully invokes Nazi imagery, it isn’t necessarily a cruel method of slaughter. If we assume they use nitrogen gas, the animals will fall asleep/pass out without ever knowing that anything is wrong.
Of course, that doesn’t help if your point wasn’t about cruelty but meat as a whole. It also doesn’t help that this is an extremely rare method of slaughter, because profits.
I have no sympathy for these farmers or their livelihoods
Yes but it’s pretty much the same industry that farms millions of pigs and chickens here as well 😐
My lack of sympathy extends to most industry farmers and ranchers in the West
Most?
Yeah, fuck em all
Great! They’ll have more room for more pigs and chickens then.
same, if your industry is slashing throats and corralling living sentient beings into gas chambers, you can fuck right off.

They use carbon dioxide, unfortunately. It’s not a nice way to go. Source: https://viva.org.uk/animals/slaughter-how-animals-are-killed/pig-gassing-in-the-uk/
Also it’s not uncommon to gas livestock to death, I’m not sure where you got that from
nazis modeled the death camps on animal agriculture, and they were abhorrent, in part, because they treated people like animals.
