I think that was supposed to happen, and the best outcome here. The piece is thought provoking and brings up the question why people would care about these pigs in the first place considering how little we regard the life of a pigglet (imo).

It is imperative that animals used for food be humanely slaughtered. This is horrifically inhumane and the animals are not being eaten.

Is a slow agonizing death really any worse than an agonizing life followed by a quick death?

Animals used for food should be treated humanely their entire lives, not just in the moment of death. However many would argue that raising animals for food at all is already inherently inhumane.
