    I’m constantly surprised at the general public’s ignorance of the conditions of farming and simultaneous confidence that vegans are extremist loons.

    Do you want transmissible spongiform encephalopathies? Because that’s how you get transmissible spongiform encephalopathies.

    Pigs will eat anything, including each other and humans, if given the chance. Still shouldn’t be helping them in this endeavour

      The title of this article is actually underselling it. They specifically give them disease-infected piglets and their feces

      Employees can be seen removing the intestines of dead, disease-infected piglets and mixing them with piglet feces in a blender — a mixture to be fed to the adult breeding pigs — causing one worker to gag.

      The practice, called “feedback,” is common in the pork business (or “controlled oral exposure” in industry jargon). The slurry of pig poop and parts is often fed to new female breeding pigs

      Farmers specifically have to be careful when sows give birth because they will sometimes just eat the piglets. But yeah, let’s make this about people forcing pigs to eat other pigs lmao

        Stuff like that usually is worsened by captivity, but the title of this article is actually underselling it. They specifically give them disease-infected piglets and their feces

      Not natural at all,bit as with most things you can vote with your dollar and find humane farms and buy their products

      Either thw big box stores will change or tgw meat industry will change. Awareness is the first step. Action is the next step

    This is why I shop local farms, I can’t stand the evil in the meat industry and I know I’m not strong enough to become vegan so it’s the next best thing

      You’re strong enough, dude. It’s not as hard as people make it out to be. Just do some research and give it a go.

      Rainbow Plant Life is an amazing channel for vegan recipes. Give her a watch or two - won’t regret it. :)
