Are the slaughter of animals at slaughterhouses any less cruel (compared to this Vietnamese ritual)? This probably varies from slaughterhouse to slaughterhouse.
Vonderplanitz advocates eating raw meat as essential to good health, and Hilarion has said that it is potentially possible (though this is not carried out in the world today because of corporate greed and lack of economic viability) to raise and slaughter animals in a humane, respectful, ethical manner, in order to minimize the animal cruelty aspect of eating meat.
For now, the majority of animal slaughterhouses on the planet, are probably no less cruel than this Vietnamese ritual. The people carrying out the ritual have deluded themselves into thinking the pig is incapable of emotions (such as fear, terror and suffering) and does not have a soul, which is incorrect. Imagine the outcry if the ritual was carried out on a human today (and indeed, such was outrageously all too commonly carried routinely in the dark past of humanity across many cultures, on hundreds of thousands of men and women tortured and killed this way. Just google "medieval torture" for a glimpse of humanity's dark past).
