If they want to eat dogs that is their business but they should kill them in a humane way just like any other livestock.
If any of you know about how cows, pigs, and chickens were processed at the many meat plans, you would not want to eat meat anymore.

Like you need to ask.
From a purely scientific standpoint that was by far the most surprising part of the video for me. Just didn't expect boiling water to have quite that effect on fur, the rest was pretty much expected, savages will be savages after all. If someone can bring the dog meat market to a more humane level though, more power to 'em.
My uncle has one of these on his farm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_scalder
They slaughter pigs and then using the bucket of a tractor, raise the carcass and dunk it in the hot water. Can't be boiling because that would begin to cook the sub-dermal fat. I think the optimal temp is around 180 or so. Immerse pig for few minutes and then the fur/hair can be scraped off the pig with a knife (like shaving with a straight edge). They dont just skin hogs because the skin can be eaten and it is a source of fat. So when you keep the skin, you need to find a way to de-hair it and scalding is the answer.
My GF comes from a Romainian family and they have a different de-hairing technique. After the pig was stunned and bled out, they would drag the pig on top of a small pile of hay and then place more hay around him. The hay is lit on fire. Hay burns quickly, goes out quickly and wont seriously damage the pig meat. But it delivers enough heat energy to sing the hair off of the carcass.
I believe hot water has the same effect on chickens (I've never slaughtered a chicken before) and helps remove the feathers during the slaughter process.
In the UK halal slaughter is the same as regular slaughter just with a guy giving a prayer over the animal.In the west we at least go for a quick death through electrocution or the pin through the head. Even then, the animal gets sedated first with gas (If my information is correct). With the exception of two religions that slit the throat of the animal and let it bleed to death. In these two cases, sedation is not used.
