A wise man once said to me, that if we took all the food that we produce, to feed the animals that we produce, to eat... That we could feed all the starving people of our planet...
That has always stayed with me...
...I also do NOT believe in cruelty... to ANY living thing...
The Nursery...
Just prior to giving birth, they are moved to a ‘nursery’ which would outrage every Australian mother. Pending mothers are confined in an even smaller area where their body is encircled by metal bars to even further limit their movement.
Mother pigs are provided with no bedding or straw to make a birthing ‘nest’, so she has no choice but to give birth to her piglets on a hard floor. Nurturing and interacting with her young is impossible as a cruel metal frame imprisons her.
She will watch on helplessly as her babies have their teeth clipped, their tails cut off, and are castrated without pain relief. Her young are removed after 3 or 4 weeks, she is impregnated again, and the cycle of suffering and deprivation continues.
A day eventually comes when for the first time in her life she experiences sun on her back and fresh air to breathe. What she doesn’t know as she is loaded on that truck, so lame, ill or ‘unproductive’ that she is no longer capable of creating profit, is that it is also to be the last day of her life...
Why is this information omitted from the Australian Pork Industry promotional website and in their public advertising campaigns? They know that their profits rest on keeping unwitting consumers ignorant of the cruelty they are responsible for.

You can buy organic meat where the animals have lead normal lives. Which I do.
I haven't eaten pig for 30 years.
I love animals. Unfortunately some of us need to eat meat for our health. I eat small amounts and always organic.
I was vegetarian for 20 years but my health got worse and worse until I went back to eating meat. Perhaps it is my native american lineage.
Don't hate me because I eat meat.
thank YOU vIcKi!!! from the pigs, and their babies, thank YOU!
HUGS.

and *mS eRiCa, I just bet you've been a lovin those little animals since YOU was a little-un yourself!
I'm just sad it took me to get sick myself before my eyes were opened to this terrible modern plight!
Thank you Ms Vicki. I say this from the bottom of my heart as my dear little kitty jumps on my lap and nudges my chin. If such a tiny little creature can express such love and emotions, of course so can all those beloved farm animals. I can never imagine eating my kitty, along eating any other being.
Peace & Love.
