I'm not entirely sure, but I think it's the sligs of the worker class. They might even just send out machines that take them back to Rupturefarms. I might be wrong, but, ya never know...

i'm actually quite scarred at posting on these forums due to my experiance of oddworld games only started with MO but i would make an educated guess and say that the vykkers make traps like the one on MO and then send sligs to gather them up

I think the Vykkers go around in their UFOs and pick them up.

I don't see vykkers lowering themselves to that. They already hate to do it for themselves, so I doubt they will do it for someone else

Your probably right, because I doubt a few worker class sligs would just run up to a Scrab with a club and batter the crap out of it. They would get overpowered way to easily so I think they could use a snoozer and then trap them in a trap. Or something like that.

Actually, I think the Mudokons do it. Quoting one of the handstones in Abe's Oddysee (this one is in Monsaic Lines):

"Few Paramites and Scrabs inhabit these lands
As millions have died at our own lost hands.
Sacred they are to us who know
But face them he must to continue their show.
Shrykull shall come from the spirits' unrest
To aid the victor after this quest."

Much of what is said in that ballad is symbolic. The mudokon people have lost their greatness and are no longer able to protect their sacred animals.

Even if you are going for literalism, they don't die until they get to Rupture Farms any way, and the mudokons are operating the machinery.

Yes, probably it's just symbolic, but maybe the Mudokons, who wouldn't get weapons (to kill the animals) from the Glukkons for obvious reasons, may operate machinery that slaughters animals in a conveyor belt or something like that.

I'll say a combination of the sligs tracking down the animal and then sending in the snozzer to capture it and bring it back to where ever it needs to go.

Maybe they use flying machines which tranqualise the animals then cart then away...

I can't believe no one else has suggested this yet...

Bear traps.

Laser has already referred to the Scrab trap.
