Scalding the Pig

What happens here

After humanely dispatching the pig (which is mentioned but not shown, using a .22 caliber rifle to the head followed by sticking the jugular vein with a knife to drain blood), the next step is to scald it. The water in the scalding pot should be maintained at a temperature between 140°F and 160°F. Gently immerse the pig into the hot water, ensuring it is fully submerged. Roll the pig around in the water for approximately 3 minutes. The goal is for the hair to easily detach when pinched, indicating it's ready for scraping.

Goal: Loosen the pig's hair for efficient removal.
