"Let me explain what the rest of the pork industry is trying to protect: Five-hundred-pound pregnant sows are confined in a metal crate sized to fit their bodies. For 16 weeks of gestation, the sows can’t turn around or stretch their legs. When they’re ready to give birth, the pigs are taken to the “Farrowing Barn” for a week to 10 days where they deliver their tiny progeny. The piglets scramble through another confined space to suckle their mothers, who are soon returned to the Gestation Barn for another round of 16-week torture.

And so it goes for about eight litters, if the sow makes it that long, after which her miserable life on Earth is put to an end.

Is a pork chop worth all that?"

The answer is no. And it's vile that anyone would want to challenge that. Esp. when companies have said they could meet demand w/o some of these practices.

And before all of the "i could never live without meeeeeeat" crowd chimes it, no one is asking you to. You can eat meat and do so in a humane/ethical manner. The fact this is not demanded is a moral stain on this country. [/quote]
