How much does a stuck pig bleed?
Exactly the same amount of wood a woodchuck could chuck.
Well, shut my mouth. It’s also illegal to put squirrels down your pants for the purposes of gambling.
But not as much as all the tea in China.

Not much if you do it right.
Pigs can be slaughtered by poking a very long sparp knife into the heart of the pig, instead of slitting the throat (as pigs will raise a lot more ruckus than a steer with a slit neck).
Do it wrong and open an artery in the neck and you have a MESS.
Isn’t the standard method of slaughter to thump them on the head with a pneumatic hammer? Or is that just cattle?

Not sure about farmers but a common way of dispaching a wild pig is to corner it and stick it with a long bladed knife. Do it wrong (miss the heart, as previously stated) and the poor panicked animal does in fact, bleed like a stuck pig. Right along with any living thing it gets it’s tusks into.
Hmm… it depends.
Does the pig have time to bleed?
Haven’t killed any stuck pigs but I have had to end the suffering of cows occasionally (and on one occasion a horse). The preferred method is with a shot with a 22 cal. rifle to the brain (assuming you’re outside and you are careful about the background). If you draw lines between the left eye and the base of the right horn and another line between right eye and left horn base, the intersection of these two lines is the appropriate target. At least that is what my grandfather recommended. There is very little blood involved with this method usually and I’ve never had the bullet exit the other side to do any damage.
Not exactly what you wanted to know but that’s what I’m giving you. Morbid hey ?
If I remember The Jungle correctly,and what I have read more recently, beef is killed with an air gun that shoots a retractable steel bolt right there at Funee’s X.Hogs are killed with an electrical current.All at the same instant a guy is sposed to loop a chain round one of the back legs, a guy zaps it in the head with a probe, the squeeler is hoisted off the floor by its hind leg and its throat is slit.As it travels along the chain the blood drains out.Course some times the zap doesn’t happen or not strong enough and the slit throat kills it after some kicking and complaints from the pig. I haven’t had any experience on the killing floors,however while in college I lived in a house right next to a small piggery.One evening we got the munchies and decided to have a Luau with roast pig.A bunch o us piled into the bug to get some pineapple and such,while a few others volunteered to liberate a small pig. ( A shoat?)We were gone an hour or so, when we got back there were some exhausted people sitting around and two guys rolling around with the pig trying to CHOKE it!They said they’d been strangling the thing since we left. I think we had baloney sandwiches. That just ain’t no way to kill a pig,so we didn’t have a chance to collect and measure the blood. We got evicted a short time later.
