I live in an area with a lot of ranching and I've never seen a cow slaughtered like what was in the video and it didn't seem like a very economical way to kill them not to mention it got a lot of blood all over the hides which is usually something they try to prevent. I think Kylier is probably on to the real explanation.

The reality is most ranchers treat their cows like their own children and invest a lot into them and really do care about them like pets, even the big ranches. Vegans watch these unique videos and seem to jump to a lot of conclusions about how cattle and pigs are treated instead of going to an actual ranch and seeing for themselves. Cows although destined to die for meat live a pretty sweet life and although preserving the meat and hides is a huge factor in how they die, a lot of research goes into making sure they die in a humane way because typically ranches are family businesses and kids are usually present which goes the same for slaughter houses.
