Animals are treated right, and there is always improvements. The propaganda that is out there against livestock is insane and irrational. You want to see animal cruelty, go to Mexico.
I recently chased a baby wild boar back into the woods from where it wandered. It was standing near the sign by my local bank and had absolutely no where to go to search for food or shelter. The woods were so small, hardly considered an uncleared lot by most, not even a half acre. They have made it legal now to shoot them from helicopiters and not get any sort of license to do so. I feel for the animals of this planet. They are so far removed from what they once were...but then, so r people
Yeah, nothing like a barren environment, with no access to normal behaviours. And how do you castrate the babies again? Doc their tails? Their canines? Great life these pigs lead. And tell me, how are you growing a leaner product again? PayLean, isn't it? I'll pass. Haven't eaten pork in a long time. Don't plan to.
Its funny how they show a beautiful farm back drop when the people are talking blue skies and green fields but when they show the pigs they are in a building with no sun shine or greenery. I guess they save that for the employees.
I love those first 2 interviews. Both ladies say they have no idea how the meat is raised, yet they willingly feed it to their children everyday. Why do people blindly put food into their mouths without researching where it comes from or how it's created? When did we get so removed from that which sustains us?
@CimaraNyx Do you research how your lettuce, corn or green beans are raised? No you just assume because its green and in front of you that it was treated correctly. You were born in the wrong era. You god damn hippie. Farms are not fucking Petsmarts, and for that exact reason. It not called a Petsmart, its called a farm.
@tylerdustin2008 I love that commet! First you ask me if I "research how my lettuce, corn, etc are raised...then you type No (meaning no I do not), THEN you accuse ME of assuming...my question is this...who is assuming here...me or YOU!!! Idiot.
@tylerdustin2008 For the record, I do not support PetSmart either, and calling me a hippie means you label me, and you judge me. Now you are some sort of God because you eat pigs??? Weird way of thinking.
@nedatronics I do research all the time, however, I have not personally done any research of air quality in the state in which I presently live. I can tell, however, by looking at the sunset that due to dirt and smog bending the light's rays that our air is not "clear". Why do you ask? What's that got to do with the price of dog in China?
Thank you for this approach to give the pigs what they need to be healthy. Do you also pet them every day? I believe that the piglets need to be petted and held in people's arms to feel safe and loved.
Pork producers care about their animals plain and simple. By keeping these pigs confined many swine ailments, such as parasites, have been eliminated making food safer for the consumer. It is no coincidence that America has the safest food in the world. Instead of complaining, we should be thankful that our supply is so plentiful. Better care for better meat. These pigs aren't pets and people need to realize that. Great video.
pigs will eat anything they can find such as dead rats, dead birds, waste of all other animals ( wild bird/cat/dogs/fox/pigs/cow/horse/sleep/lamb/human etc), insects and earthworms etc (dead or alive). Soil in outdoor is full of parasite and parasite eggs. Pigs will also drink the urine pissed by other pigs or animals. So pigs live in outdoor will be more tasty with parasite and parasite eggs.
@onepointpoint Pigs do not eat dung or urine from other animals. Pigs are very clean and social animals when they can create their own lives for themselves in the wild.
@NicolaRedwooddforest Pigs build nests in the wild in which to have their young and would love to forage for their own food in woodlands, but they are made to live in concrete hell-holes. It definitely testifies that we are savages. Pigs don't want climate control either, they respect and a better life, we owe them that much.
@3finker Yes, I agree. Killing pigs and cows is gruesome. I am a PETA member and activist. I tell everybody to quit eating cows and pigs and possibly become vegan. Animals need to be free and safe.
@NicolaRedwooddforest i have to disagree with that. As most vegan's are extremely unhealthy people. Everyone who eats a proper amount of meat, as in an 8 ounce serving at dinner time. Then yes we are healthy, but when you sit down and eat a steak the size of your dinner plate, then no they aren't healthy. And yeah ok, the thought of the animal dying is a sad fact of life. Just like huntining. Oh wait, when you hunt you eat it. TO SURVIVE!!!
@TheJuliastowe I agree with veganism partly. For some people it is not healthy. Some humans have evolved to be vegan, there are whole communities in India who are vegan for many generations and they are doing well. But people who grew up in the western world, Europe or North and South America, it is often difficult to become vegan. But we can eat chicken or turkey from organic farms where they roam free and have it good. We do not have to eat mammals like pigs or cows. I quit pigs and cows.
@NicolaRedwooddforest You can be a vegan if you're a person that doesn't do much physical activity. If you work on a farm for example and there is lots of physical labour your body will need lots of this protein in order for you to perform. Yea there's vegan communities in India, but let's face it people from these communities aren't very fond of hard long physical work. And yes I'm generalizing because I've worked in India for years!
@NicolaRedwooddforest PETA is the most stupid "organization" in the world. Animals are raised for food that is why they are put on the planet. now some farmers practices for caring for the animals is not right, but that does not mean that you need to turn around and say all live stock production is bad. just because one farmer does something bad does not mean that they all do.
@Mtthyman PETA is the most important animal rights organization in the world. Their goal is to educate the public about what is going on in the meat industry, medical industry and fur industry. The vast majority of the meat industry is conducting cruel handling of animals. It's not just "one" farmer. It's thousands. I am extremely grateful to PETA to shed light on those farms and other institutions who handle animals unethically.
@NicolaRedwooddforest no they are not. they complain about the stupidest stuff, and they are a bunch of Hippocrates. they are all about Protecting Animals, they complain about farmers treating animals badly yet PETA itself has killed over 14,400 dogs and cats since 1998, including 90
percent of the animals it took in for "adoption" in 2005. The accidental
deaths of a small number of animals pale in comparison to PETA's much
@NicolaRedwooddforest Peta is. they complain about farmers killing livestock to eat, yet its ok for them to kill cats and dogs because they cant afford to find them homes?
@Mtthyman PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has huge enemies. Those enemies are the meat, fur and medical industries. The corporate agenda hires market psychologists like Richard Berman to set up entire movements against whomever they decide to slander. They did it to Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Al Gore and they do it to Ingrid Newkirk and PETA. Anyone large who stands in the way of severe corruption will be slandered to the fullest by the media. It's brainwashing.
@Mtthyman Part 2: PETA educates the public. They also have rescue shelters and sanctuaries where they bring rescued animals to who are able to be cured from illnesses and wounds, animals who have a chance to survive and be well. Those animals who do not stand a chance of surviving severe wounds or illnesses like heart worm for example are euthanized. This is the only ethical way to handle this situation. All shelters are trying the hardest to adopt animals out to people. Spay and neuter pets.
lok at that horrible sterile envoroment those pigs have to live in! how is that humane?
sure its clean, its like a hospital, who whats to live their whole life in that with nothing to do? Pigs want to roll in mud and , they need to be kept in a natural and stimulating enviroment. with freedom to run around and explore, this is so cruel. humans are disgusting.
I cant believe it!!Its a pork producing farm that actually treats the pigs humanely!!Ive never seen one that is actually sanitary and the workers dont abuse the pigs.
I don't agree with PETA on many issues but you have to admit, without all the animal cruelty/torture videos many of these pork producers might never have been aware of the kind of bloody abuse taking place in their companies. Look at the title of this video- "Ethical Treatment of Pigs"..obviously they're getting the message: consumers don't wish to eat anything that had a cruel and wretched death. I'm sure that slaughtering any livestock is no picnic but sadistic cruelty cannot be tolerated.
I see the Pork Industry is doing its best to keep the disinformation out there. The problem is: We don't need to kill animals. Period. We're perfectly capable of surviving without meat at this point. We have the technology to make alternatives. It's just a matter of being ethical v. being greedy and accepting lobbyist payouts.
@normank27 sorry but this is still mistreatment and animals kept in an unatural enviroment. sure they are clean physicaly but what about emtionaly and psychologicaly, yes animals eel that kind of pain too.
@Shewolfen Get real Shewolfen, I suppose you're against companion animals too because a cat living the life of Riley in someone's house is in an "unatural enviroment".... (correctly spelled unnatural environment) Get off of your anthropomorphic high horse and realize that we are going to have to learn to feed more people in the next 25 years than mankind has learned to feed in our entire history!!!
@Oviner123 yes I do think that most animals , especialy cats , that it is very unnatural for them to have be kept indoors only. Take it from someone who has adopted an indoor cat and ferret and witness the fear then they total joy of discovering life outdoors. If it was you would you want to live a life where you were never ever to be allowed outside? Think about it.... feed more? no humans need to stop breeding. the planet is overcrowed obviously.
Re: Your comment about the "Meet Your Meat" video. PETA makes sure they film the farms and slaughterhouses exhibiting the most extreme forms of cruelty imaginable. It makes people think the issue is HOW we use and kill animals, not THAT we use and kill them. Plus, it just makes us look less credible when they do that. I'm not saying that stuff doesn't ever happen, but whether an animal is scalded alive, or killed painlessly, their life is ended, and that is wrong.
No, that doesn't happen all the time. I agree that PETA likes to make it look like it does, which detracts from the real issue: that it's still wrong to harm an animal, even if you don't torture them in the process.
NorthAmericanHops In a natural, non factory farm setting pigs do not bite each others tails...this is because of overcrowding. Yes I have personally known pigs. One in particular is the reason I became vegetarian. He was a male who had his tusks, he was around 600 lbs and he was friendly.(of course he was not living in a factory farm) Pigs are intelligent , social animals...it is appalling how we have made them into simple meat machines.
schaeferspeedmn How are people "being led on"? By seeing video evidence of cruelty? People can judge for themselves when they watch the UNDERCOVER videos....evidence gathered when people thought noone was looking. Or are blatant propaganda vids like this one trying to lead people on? Funny they don't show the thousands of sows crammed in their barns.
Your idea of animal welfare is a joke. Pigs need to be OUTSIDE, running in the grass, playing etc. I have heard numerous horror stories about THOUSANDS of pigs suffocating in "wonderful" climate controlled facilities like this, when their was a power failure and/or generator failure. You don't show the sows in their horrible confinement, yes i know its so they don't crush their piglets by laying on them...in a non factory farm setting this does not happen.....
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
what a sham. The video should talk about how the pork industry slices the tails off of piglets without painkillers and confines mother pigs to cages so small they can't turn around. If you care about animal suffering, boycott the pork industry.
The biggest problem with people against the meat industry is they take situations out of context. Pigs fart rainbows and glitter is what you have grown up to believe from disney movies. Animals are treated right, and there is always improvements. The propaganda that is out there against livestock is insane and irrational. You want to see animal cruelty, go to Mexico.
