FARMING FAMILY VALUES

Factory farms are pure hell for pigs and their babies. Mother pigs spend most of their lives in tiny gestatiion crates, which are so small that the animals are unable to turn around or even lie comfortably. They are repeatedly impregnated until they are slaughtered. Piglets, who are taken away from their distraught mothers, after just a few weeks, have their tails chopped off, their teeth clipped off with pliers, and the males are castrated -- all without pain killlers. Bacon anyone?
