Controlled atmosphere killing

Controlled atmosphere killing is when animals are put into a special container that has a specific mixture of gases. These gases are designed to make the animals feel sleepy or lose consciousness quickly and painlessly. This is done so that the animals do not feel any pain or fear when they are being killed. It is important for the animals to be calm and peaceful because this makes the meat better quality.

Think of it like taking a nap. You know how when you go to bed at night, you start feeling sleepy and then go to sleep? That's what happens to the animals when they are put in the special container with the gases. The gases make them feel relaxed and then they fall asleep. It's important that the animals don't feel any pain or fear because that's not nice. We want to be kind to the animals because we are responsible for them.

Overall, controlled atmosphere killing is a way to make sure animals are killed without feeling any pain or fear. It's important to treat animals kindly because it's the right thing to do.
