Oh, yeah, don't get me wrong-- those claims are fundamentally bullshit. Snapping the spine, which is a method that would have been available for smaller animals during Mo's time is a quick, efficient, and relatively painless way to kill an animal, as anyone who's killed a rabbit or chicken on a farm will tell you. But for larger animals, like cows, slitting the throat is the most humane method assuming no access to a captive bolt gun, a firearm or other efficient method for killing the animal or quickly rendering it unconscious. Yeah, you can use a blunt instrument, but even a sledge hammer could potentially take a few blows to do the job on an animal of that size if the blows weren't well-placed and powerful enough.
fuck you
