How are the calves and rabbits dispatched?

• by Angel_48

  I am assuming the calves are not placed there alive, so figure they are euthanized before being chained there, could you tell me just for peace of mind?
  I am not against the study, I think its a great idea, just want to know its done without the feeder animals suffering.

  No, they are definitely not chained there alive! Glad you asked. These are stillborn calves donated by dairy farms. The carcasses are chained so they don't get dragged off.

  Thank you for that information! It's good to know there's no suffering involved at all.
