Carcass Cutting Tools: three words you've been waiting to read. Here's three more: Pneumatic Bung Dropper (with action shot!) Still not satisfied? Try Automatic Carcass Splitter. Terrifying, and yet strangely arousing.

I'd meant to post this a while ago, but then I forgot all about the subject, until the recent posts on swine penis and tree shredders jogged my memory.

At first I thought it was a human corpse in the action shot linked above. That was very disturbing. (I don't know if it's because I'm color blind.)

Just think, htere are people who's title is "Lung Gunner" or "Bung Dropper" or "Chicken Debeaker"... I just can't imagine doing that eight hours a day. I know there are worse jobs, but that's gotta be near the bottom.

Amazingly (or maybe not-so-amazingly), we've seen at least one of these before. Get out of town. I actually did a search before posting, but I used "sow bung" instead of "hog bung". Consider me schooled.

And they're fast! "A single operator can bung up to 1200 hogs/hour". That's 3 seconds per bung, people! Just imagine it: Randy: Hey, Pete! <BUNG!> Pete: Yeah, Randy? <BUNG!> Randy: Ya'll wanna get some <BUNG!> beers and watch the <BUNG!> game after this shift? <BUNG!> Pete: You betcha! I'm <BUNG!> rootin' for <BUNG!> the <BUNG!> ... <BUNG!> ... <BUNG!> ... dammit, this one's stuck!

This reminds me of a weekend I spent working on a friend's emu ranch outside of Dallas about eight years ago. When we were finished butchering the emus, there were a half-dozen of these "donuts" lying around. It's odd how some things strike you as both hilarious and horrifying at the same time, you know?

Pneumatic Bung Dropper == best heavy-metal band name in a while. And sadly, I didn't need to click the link to figure out what it does, and how it does it.

Ditto Glenwood: I'm a happy meat eater but something about that post gave me a deeply bad feeling. Possibly enough to make me pass the bacon permanently.

I think this might be a doublepost. Much of the finer points of the Jarvis catalog was making the rounds a few years ago. But I'm not complaining, no sir! One can never have enough bung or lung guns around the house. Why, just last week a whole herd of pre-stunned cattle just fell right from the sky into our yard. Thank goodness I had enough bung guns to go around, or we'd still be drowning chin-deep in assholes.
