Instead, she suggests pigs could be genetically bred to have a less violent reaction to CO2

there's a lot of messed up shit in that article but this is so sinister

did anything ever happen after the videos were released?

There's been more videos about this too since. This article only looked at the US, but this stuff also exists elsewhere. In the UK they simply arrested people filming some of the slaughterhouses using CO2 gas chambers.

Ag-gag laws and similar kinds of stuff are fun. Problems apparently don't exist if you just can't film them :/

No I don't think they can; that's how your body knows to breathe. CO2 is just the wrong gas to use to kill something if you want it done quietly. I honestly think I'd rather be strangled, there's a chance I'd die of lack of blood flow to the brain before CO2 poisoning set in.

What do you mean? The video shows the intended effect, I don't think any regulatory place wants to change anything about that.
