Respiratory distress causes hyperventilation, a sense of breathlessness, gasping, and suffocation. Pigs also display muscular excitation and vocalization when exposed to CO2, and all of this occurs prior to the loss of consciousness. Collaborating researchers in Denmark and Spain concluded that “the fact that these behaviours occur when the animal is conscious is evidence that induction to CO2 anaesthesia is not immediate and pigs suffer from fear, pain and/or stress during immersion into gas.”<ref>[http://icfaw.org/Documents/Stunning%20of%20pigs%20with%20carbon%20dioxide.pdf Stunning of Pigs with Carbon Dioxide] The International Coalition For Animal Welfare</ref></blockquote>
