  • Pigs are ugly. People should not put ugly things inside themselves. Stop eating ugly animals.

  • Yes I enjoy eating pig, however I would enjoy it a more if I knew it had a somewhat enjoyable life. No one deserves to live like this, even if it's just going to die.

  • @Ingrownsage Very good to have acknowledged that. Hope you can someday find courage to reduce or stop eating them completely. It is the demand for cheap meat that drives these induastries. All the best.

  • No, I am not going to be a part of this cruelty.

  • *Watches video*

    *Looks at bacon on plate*

    *Continues eating bacon*

  • @llamacarlito *Ignorant*

  • @llamacarlito *continues to be a complete narcissistic and soulless parasite*

  • This literally made me cry. -/3

  • wow smithfield is delicious but i now know ive eaten misery and pain and fear good thing it was only once lol

  • WTF? theses pigs did nothing to these ppl. we are nasty humans :(

  • No more pork for me. NO more smithfeild products in my fridge these gestation crates are completely unacceptable

  • Who cares how there treated there all gona die anyway.

  • Why don't you be reincarnated as one of these poor creatures...they did nothing to deserve this ...I have never seen anything like this it should be illegal I will never eat pork

  • you Smithfield are a discrace to human civilzation. my god this is why i hate that i am a human.

  • All animal products are dangerous to the human body. this is explained in perfect detail at "Food that kills- full documentary" . a MUST see!!!!

  • lol

  • this just goes to show of how greedy and abusive we can be

  • What is government for? They should just threaten to shout them down.

  • The sows you see that are going "insane" are just hungry and they taped it 5 minutes before they get fed, so yes they are going to scream and bang on their crates, just like children cry and throw things when they are hungry. And the dead sows and piglets you see, yes some need to be put down as they are suffering and in pain, and they are put down in a humane way.

    Sows in gestation crates are cared for and treated properly. I work with them everyday and we care for them the best we can!

  • This video make me sick! The HSUS uses videos like this like an atheist uses Bible verses out of context. There is so much propaganda and disconnect between the field and the fork.

  • So this is all fake? Not from Smithfield Farm Factories?

    So "atheists" don't have some relevant points about the bible?

    Like stoning disobedient children. Or being a hypocrite like eating shrimp, yet bashing gays?(read Leviticus) So tell me, that neither of these people have at least in some respect made a point? I'm a Christian, albeit a more sophisticated one. Yes the bible is fallible and it's not good enough to justify belief in God. It's a book of narrative and some wisdom.

  • I believe in God based on what I've experienced, he's real to me. However I can completely understand why the bible isn't trustworthy, I mean really. So what version do you read? :) Answer.

    Exactly you will either dodge that question or give a version<, so it doesn't seem to leave you with an option. Unless you realize that the bible is just a book and that you need to have god there to guide you. Otherwise yes the archaic text will confuse you. God has to reveal himself to you.

  • @nextgenfarmer Well that's my three-cents on the matter dude, start typing and I look forward to hearing from you. I love debates.

  • @nextgenfarmer I'm disturbed by what I see, but seldom jump to conclusions. Please tell me what's going on here. Is this where the sow goes to give birth? Is it temporary? I live in Florida and our voters put a pregnant pig amendment on our state constitution (?!?!). Thought it was ridiculous at the time.

  • @myownspiritlevel You are wise to ask such questions. This is a heavy propaganda film edited to make it look at bad as possible. Most pork producers do whatever they can to care for their animals since it is their source of income. Why would they purposely want to hurt their production?

  • @nextgenfarmer Never mind. I read up on it on wikipedia. Pretty sickening if true.

  • Disgraceful!

  • This is so horrific. I just wish I could make this stop.

  • your all a bunch of hippies this is fake our a hippie cover up its really that basd in the 50 different barns around my place

  • @cutecookie1234 People just want to throw their ignorant, one dimensional views at someone, expecting them to agree. And if you don't, they'll sick PETA on you, or blog angrily about you for the rest of the year until someone else disagrees with them. It's animal rights activism in full swing.

  • thats it for pork, never again...

  • Plain and simple, more poeple should take up hunting.

  • Please in Gods name enough already, how the F..man can do this!

  • Thanks, Made me think. I know you post these things so that people can know the truth. I am grateful for it, and glad I saw it. Whos ready for a boycott?

  • You can still eat meat and care about the well being of animals. I grew up on a farm where we raise animals for food and all out animals are very well taken care of.

  • @limbdarkening Comment of the year.

  • this is why we feed smithfield to city folk

  • omg poor little piggies </3

  • Poor pigs cant even stand up.

  • Poor animals. Even though life can be brutal in the wild, there is a more equalized playing field and we are dealing with obligatory carnivores that kill because they have no other choice. Humans are the most perverse: we kill when we do not have to kill, and we TORTURE our kills for their entire lives first. Sick practices. All of the factory farm crap is pathetic and people who support it economically are 'voting' for its continued existence. The quickest way to change it? Boycott it!!

  • now im in the mood for some pork chops :]

  • Not a fan of the way things are done however either way its cruel so its not gonna stop and Im still gonna eat pork.

  • @scottf78 You sound like a moron, better yet, you are a moron. It's people like you that make this nation great, not.

  • And as for those biblical arguments, why in the world would God, our Lord and Savior put these animals on this earth without them serving a purpose? They provide for us, and we should be thankful and are thankful to all of these animals for the nutrients and protein they provide to our bodies.

  • Each of these snippets of video's just show the FEW hogs that are cut, and are bleeding from their mouths.Hogs naturally chew and investigate, so its no surprise that they will get cut every once in a while, and when they do these processors give them the BEST veterinary care available.They want the pork that they produce to be safe and HEALTHY for US! The consumers, they won't risk not taking care of their animals.

  • Everyone realizes that this is the MAIN way you get your bacon in the morning right? These hogs may be confined, but they don't go crazy, this is the most productive and efficient way to grow and slaughter hogs. Did anyone happen to notice the the states that banned the used of gestation crates are some of the LOWEST pork producing states? One of the main uses for sow farrowing crates is so they DON'T roll over and kill their offspring. It's safer and more efficient.

  • @ChunkyJunkyJewelry I don't think the farrowing crates are what they are getting at. from what i can tell with those huge companies is they inseminate the sow and lock her in a gestation crate until it's time to farrow when she moves to a farrowing crate and once weaning is done gets bred as soon as possible again. I have mine roaming around until right before farrowing and I feed outside the crate so they get out but I can see how gestation crates are bad.

  • The solution is to convert the U.S. to Islam. Just kidding.

  • I hope all these idiots pay for all the $#!* and pain they cause other animals. Can't stand ignorant humans!

  • OMG I can't imagine the agony of being locked in one of those things for life! I want to go insane just looking at it.

  • Pigs are as intelligent as dogs too.

  • We can live perfectly well without harming other animals. Go vegan.

  • @cricket279 OR you could go out and hunt your own food.

  • So whats the final solution for you "nonono" people here? To stop the production of pork? Or to shut down the large producers, or slaughterhouses, or what? The 4 that I have, three sows and a boar, are well housed,fed and watered. Is it your desire that I open the pen and release them, or am I to feed them and their offspring for eternity or what? I am against animal cruelty, and cruel people, but I still intend to profit from my pigs, and to keep my deepfreeze well stocked.

  • This makes me feel disgusting that I'm the same species as those a holes!!!!!

  • wow so stupid picking on us farmers for no reason. and if sows wernt in crates they would fight till one of them died than start eating it.

  • @spankiedickason So that means the crates have to be smaller than there bodies? this is why your a farmer, not a scientist. thank god

  • @spankiedickason are you saying that we SHOULD have the kind of crates depicted in this video?

  • Just 7 states?...oh wow so "much" god damn i hate these people

  • Torture is wrong, killing I have no problem with. It's the way of the world and poeple need to realize that nothings gonna change and trying it useless.

  • To all the vegans here, it's not us average omnivores who's to blame, its over-consumption. This kind of horrific factory farming is most prevalent in the US where obesity is a big problem. Many European countries have banned this sort of practice. There are more humane ways to get meat than this AND still have enough for everyone to eat.

  • This is why I'm vegetarian. It's the torture and abuse and this is NOT an isolated incident. Every bite of meat one eats contributes to this insanity and horror.  I'm healthier now than I ever was when I ate animals.

  • I WILL BECOME VEGAN

  • One sided. Same as CNN or Fox News. Show only one side of the story to get people on your side. We as Americans should dig a little deeper than one video from the MOST biased source possible. Yes, some farmers suck. But, most really do care for the well being of there herd. Its what keeps clothes on our backs and a roof over our heads. Look at cops for instance. Just because one beats up an african american, that doesnt make all cops racist.

  • You need to realize that the humane society of the united states is completely one sided. They show you ONE bad farm and make you believe that this holds true for all farms. Yes, there are bad farmers out there that have no business farming. But, that is such a small fraction. Animals that live under constant stess will not reproduce nearly as well as animals that are comfortable. Animals have a natural instinct that tells them when and where it is safe to raise a litter of piglets.

  • people are going to have to stop breeding to make way for all the space free ranging will take up.

  • That's why I'm vegan.

  • @TheGuyWhoHatesInk Why I'm vegetarian.

  • @KasiChumChuda same here brother

  • Made me want to eat some bacon

  • it's hard to watch this stuff, but i am doing it for a 2nd time (can't do it too often - it's so nightmarish) - because i am committed to going vegan. I am well on the way there.

  • @navarofranco --I gradually went vegan over the years. I gave up things gradually that made sense to me. First thing was veal, then chicken, etc. Now I just get eggs now and then from my neighbor. But mostly I'm vegan and feel the best I've ever felt! Good luck!

  • The people that treat animal like this, should be put in that crate and beat til they bleed:(these are creatures that feed us let should be happy pigs, and the workers should be fired for abuseing the animal at anytime. All slaughter houses should have hidden cameras that feed somewhere that everyone,and every room watched..YOU PEOPLE THAT ABUSE THESE POOR ANIMALS ARE NOTHING BUT TRASH!!!!

  • some of it disgusts me, but im double sided on this because people still want food at a cheap price.

  • @jimmyhoffa9 These kinds are farming practises raise the price of food. An enormous amount of crop matter is fed to factory farmed animals.

  • @IdaMiaDot you've got it backwards. "Free Range" animals are far more expensive and time consuming to raise. Which makes YOUR grocery bill higher. And, as for the crop matter being fed to hogs, most of that is #2 yellow corn, mainly unusable to humans. However, if you eat a lot of high fructose corn syrup or fritos corn chips, then yes we should feed less of it to hogs. And why not pick on ethanol producers if youre going to go down the "corn is for people" road?

  • Watch Remi Baillard's pig video. It will make you feel better. I am getting a tattoo of a pig. People bitch about puppy mills. I don't like them either; but it doesn't compare to the treament of animals in factory farms. I will never eat a pig again. Haven't in a long time. This is sick.

  • this video made me cry. its people like those that give us farmers a bad rep. i would never allow my sows to ever live like that. I love my pigs and i treat them so well like they were people. this video made me want to go outside and give all of my pigs lots of treats and love. i could literally lock up those people and make them live that way

  • @pigfarmer121 Amen!

  • I saw this story in a Rolling Stone magazine about six years ago. Why does the federal government still allow.... Oh, wait, the same government that condones police brutality, genocide, slavery, rape of Mother Earth... The same government that considers citizens to be stupid sheep who do whatever the tv tells them to, wants us to believe that democrats and republicans are polar oposites when in fact they are all the same liars, keeps us fighting amongst ourselves over worthless green paper...

  • @CrazyBear65 the government is just a few of 'US' thres way more of US than THEM. vote 3 times a day with your choice of meals. if we had 500,000 people on earth this wouldnt need to exist, but since we have more than 6 billion, this crap needs to exist unless people stop eating meat. the pigs get along fine eating corn, why dont you try eating some corn instead next time.

    take responsibility, dont blame everything on the few government.

  • @CrazyBear65 Where do genocide and slavery play into the American government?

  • Bloody Hell, is that correct that only seven States in America have got enough compassion to ban gestation crates?. In my opinion people have to be desesitized to do such things to creatures who rank along side the primates and Dolphines in intelligence. Have we forgotten that moral blindness was a prequesite for working at Auschwitz?.

    Why are your Churches silent on the issue, the seed of a future holocaust is being sown!.

  • Thanks for posting this.

  • Geez its not like the piggeries i see in Australia. Thats perthetice the way those pigs are it those small crates

  • And good job to Maxwell and Cargil! Why doesn't everyone just stop buying meat from Smithfield and buy it from those other places until they get the message that we will not support animal abuse.

  • i believe it is right to eat animals.. only if we treat them with respect for example chickens i only ever buy free ranged chicken !! they were brought up healthy and had a happy life i believe..

  • @TarkanTurkerMustafa

    Exactly. This is exactly what I believe in. As long as they are well taken care of and respected, and live happy lives, there is nothing wrong with eating them, as long as they are killed humanely. Humans cannot live off veggies alone. We are omnivores, and need meat and veggies to stay healthy, just like any other omnivore or carnivore. But I stopped eating meat from stores ages ago. We grow all our own meat, and sell it to. Go Humane farmers!

  • @Haflingerluv99 your completely right, humans cant live off veggies alone, thats why i eat fruits, legumes and breads/pastas as well. good point. now as for the NEEDING MEAT...thats absolute pig shit. we need knives and fire just to make the meat edible, and our digestive system doesnt break down half of it anyway, and legumes like beans, peas, and other foods like kale and artichokes provide more than enough HEALTHY AND NOT ILLGOTTEN protein. i have tons of energy from no meat

  • I can't dare look at the video any longer.

  • No good enough. Phase out by now.

  • Its awful hard to give individualized vet care to these hogs, when Smithfield is killin about 31,000 a day right now. Its really not that that bad of a place and people forget that the only reason these hogs (or any domesticated hogs for that matter) are alive is to be slaughtered for food.

  • Thanks for spreading the word! this is disgusting

  • Animals should be treated better before they are eaten and don't give me that vegan nonsense not everyone is going to stop eating meat.

  • SAVE THE POOR PIGGGIESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • SAVE THE POOR PIGGGIESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • SAFE THE POOR PIGGGIESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I'm supposed to care?

  • @b1bIs1337 you are disgusting you meat infested, milk brained idiot.

  • @b1bIs1337

    You should ask yourself why you don't care. Not caring is apathetic, selfish, and ignorant.

  • @b1bIs1337 every living thing should care.

  • youre a terd nothing else.humans are so fare from nature its a joke.

  • omg this is so needless

  • I don't really care about this, it's the humans way of life. Basically everyone that thinks this is wrong is basically saying penguins shouldn't eat fish.

  • @Youuuu30Gaming I'm totally not saying you have to care because obviously you don't have to. But comparing human consumption of meat to that of penguins consuming fish is like comparing the size of the sun to the size of the earth, they don't compare because one is significantly larger than the other.

  • @Youuuu30Gaming Your analogy is without merit and you are a moron without one working brain cell.

  • @Youuuu30Gaming

    Penguins don't stuff fish into goddamn factories you twat

  • @Youuuu30Gaming Wow, this is so ignorant it's insulting. Penguins eat fish, yes. Penguins DON'T cram hundreds of fish into a tiny tank, torture them, abuse them, take them away from their children etc. If this was a video of someone hunting and killing one pig then that would be completely reasonable! But it's not. Did you know that pigs are smarter then dogs and cats? Right. I'm sorry if I'm being rude, but I am actually really insulted by your comment. Anyone else agree.?

  • @meyouandthepiggies That's a specious argument. There aren't billions of penguins that want ever cheaper food. Not that nature isn't cruel, it's very cruel. If penguins figured out some more effective yet brutal way to predate upon fish, evolution would favor it. Smithfield is a symptom, not the disease. Farm public policy in the developed world and a population that is out of control are the problem.

  • Are you a penguin..didnt think so..and obviously not a rocket scientist either

  • @meyouandthepiggies then and than are to differant words then is like when . stop using the word ignorant.

  • @meyouandthepiggies Whatever, dogs are alot better than pigs. The only thing that pigs are good for is food! This video actually made me hungry... 

  • @meyouandthepiggies Who cares if they are smart. They are food.

  • @meyouandthepiggies  I agree with U 110% + Penguins eat the fish RAW with bone, skin and head. We humans cannot even ear RAW Chicken, Rabbit or Lobster. We are naturally vegetarian & cannot digest RAW meat. Our intestines and teeth are identical to Horse & Cow. See YBurnFood-com

  • @Youuuu30Gaming Your statement lacks logic. Please reconsider what you think.

  • @Youuuu30Gaming You're dumb.

  • Hey people its easy to stop this. Stop buying pork products. Or just stop buying pork products sold by Smithfield foods. I plan to.

  • @mac777daddy  Good point. But do some research on Vitamin D3 , it comes from pig skin tissue.

  • @mac777daddy Or if, like me, you're lucky enough to surrounded by farms who raise and slaughter their animals humanely (small town, so everyone knows each other), you can still enjoy all the pork you want! And you'll be supporting local farmers! I don't care for pork myself, but I love most other kinds of meat. And it's all hormone-free!

  • @mac777daddy I will buy pork from whomever I please.

  • Violence against Smithfield would be totally acceptable, as far as I'm concerned

  • Bacon strips bacon strips

  • sad. I hope this stops.

  • I think the time has come where we must say that nothing must be tortured, humiliated, suffer & pushed to their limit for our vanity, insatiable need for food, sexual gratification enjoyment & tested for our needless medicine that companies like to throw down our throats for profit.

  • I find it interesting that Smithfield Foods videos can't be commented on. They lie about there practices and would rather ignore or rather just not hear what the public has to say about this video proof of what happens in the pig farms they own.

  • THIS IS ALL MADE UP USING VERY SELECTIVE VIDEOS AND SICK SOWS. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS GARBAGE!!!! 

  • @FARMERBRENT1 Sorry I won't fall for your garbage. I feel it's wrong to keep any animal (especially in these bad conditions) only to be slaughtered for selfish humans to eat.

  • @FARMERBRENT1 Even if it's selected videos, the fact remains that is still happens to pigs.

  • The Bible mentions that animals were put on this Earth for mankind. Here's what that means to me.

    Animals are vulnerable and weaker than people. We must take care of them. Serving their needs serves ours.

    Our angel souls are designed to serve just as race horses are born to race. Our souls thrive when we serve those who are more vulnerable than us.

    God serves us in that way. He takes care of us.

    As children learn to parent by playing with dolls, our souls learn Godliness by caring for animals.

  • All animals deserve respect... I font buy meat unless I know it comes from a pasture and outdoors environment. Anyone can make that choice. But the ignorant will pay. All those antibiotics and chemicals, also in products, will turn to cancer. Just watch...

  • Some of you with your 'plant" shit shut up...and being vegan is not always the answer, should animals go vegan too? We just need to respect animals, by giving them pasture and outdoors at least until they are killed. And stop a wil

  • ham is like the towns pride and joy O_O ... im serious we gotta pig on our water tower o.o ... its hilarious i didnt know smithfiled sold all around the world ._. im slow...

  • Genesis 9:4: "But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood."

    Proverbs 12:10 The righteous one is concerned for his beast.

    Genesis 9: 4-5 Flesh shall ye not eat

    HSUS keep on doing GOD'S WORK! Amen!

  • Isaiah 66:17 "Those who consecrate and purify themselves to go into the gardens, following the one in the midst of those who eat the flesh of pigs and rats and other abominable things--they will meet their end together," declares the LORD.

  • SMITHFIELD IS A PORK PIMP COMPANY SELLING DAMNATION AND ABOMINATION TO THE PUBLIC!

    Deuteronomy 14:8 And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass."

    Leviticus 11:8 "You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you."

  • @WinterHaven You are correct, that is why I do not eat pork but I do eat beef, deer, chicken, turkey & some fish.

  • the Humane society isnt going to the heart of the problem. Humans need to eat animals to live healthy? NO! Killing animals is a pratice of the past. Should be made illegal. Altogether.

  • Who likes MCRIB. this is were it comes FROM.

  • dang I won't ever look at my ribs the same!

  • lol @ those delicious pigs. bacon's gonna taste extra good 2moro after watching this.

  • super::)

  • Stop killing those helpless Vegetable plants... Murder!! You plnat them in overcrowed lots then degrade them by spreadin manure on them.... Shame on you ... EAT ONLY Fallen Fruit and Veggies from Range grown plants..... (Ever notice that Veterians and Organic people coming out of the "New Leaf " Markets all look SICK....

  • @nagrom9911 billions of living organisms are kiled every time you eat plants or simply walk or grass or soil. PLEASE STOP THE KILLING OF HELPLESS ORGANISMS!

  • @nikolatesla08 Cunt! You should have been placed in a gas chamber by Hitler. 

  • @nagrom9911 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA you made my day haha

  • Why you take long time to action this is not good at all, can you think if you are a pig for one hour in that state? why such things like this let happend?

  • so pigs squeal. Just because broccoli doesn't scream doesn't mean it doesn't feel pain. The only solution to this problem is to stop eating anything and starve to death.

  • I became a vegetarian after this story came out.  Smithfield farms is a disgrace to the human race.

  • mmm bacon

  • Prosciutto di Parma with melon ? any day . ain't no way in hale i'd be a vegetarian.being one is expensive.Vegetarian are deluded folk.they still produce "fake meat" , "fake ham" because the urge of eating meat is too powerful.Its okay to not make them suffer for too long.I mean we still do a better job at killing them than a pack of lions who tuck on the poor animal's meat while it is still alive.

  • ive been a vegetarian since i was 10! i am now 21 and i made the decision on my own to stop animal cruelty!

  • the problem is you all can go ahead and become veggie little girls but we men like are meat. meat is what has made our country and you guys have no say in it the animals will always be killed and already made into food i dont understand why you dont just eat it cause you cant stop it under 10% of the world doesnt eat meat that other 90% wins and it wont change no matter what you do ya it is cruel but theyve grown up like that since birth they dont no any better? 

  • pigs taste good but only when they're raised and butchered humanely. these factory farms should be outlawed. the way a society treats its animals is how its own people will eventually be treated. we are a bunch of selfish morons if we allow this to continue.

  • it is forbidden in islam to eat pork cats dogs and every animal that eats meat or has claws and pigs are not for consuming they are only for cleaning the poo of other animals thats why they eat shit and it has dirty meat we are only allowed to eat cow sheep chicken and Herbivores because they do not carry dirty blood and we do not kill them by shooting it or electrifying or in a cruel way we have a traditional way to kill with out torturing...

  • Using these videos to push a vegetarian lifestyle loses our cause support, because it is a militant "all or nothing" approach. Look at the conditions these pigs live in and ask yourself: would you call it a small victory if these pigs at least had freedom to roam open fields under the sky? Would you call it a small victory if the 95% reduction in agriculture jobs in this country as a result of factory farming were eliminated? I would.

  • Hey watch one of my favorite videos about pigs. Look up the BBQ boys. The show how to prepare 3 pigs for BBQ.

    Pigs taste good. Ham, bacon, ribs and tasty loin.

  • @cbarsonfire It's one thing to eat meat, it's entirely another thing to be indifferent to the sufferings of animals. Comments like yours aren't "funny," they're PATHETIC. Of course, you're no doubt a coward who hides behind the anonymity on the Internet to reveal the ugly workings of your tiny mind & soul. People like you are more of a pig than these poor, suffering, animals. Why don't you do the world a favor & take yourself out of the gene pool? There's enough crap in the world.

  • im going to stop eating meat, I cant beleve they would do that to those poor animals, this upsets me sooo much I couldnt watch the rest

  • I have been a vegetarian since June 2010 and am trying to adopt a vegan lifestyle. I HAVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER and I attribute my improved mood to the fact that I am no longer consuming meat, fish and dairy products. But if some of you have to eat meat, at least help get rid of gestation crates and also egg-laying crates. Please.

  • just cause were going to eat them does not mean we should not respect them, ok smithfield employee, i will not be picking up any of your product you dont understand, it because they are alive and they hurt

  • The execs at smithfield should be put into gestation crates, or at least 'their' offspring should be. fooking scum suckers...

  • Good looking pigs there clean and there fat! Makes a good quality pork product.

  • @fryking22 Don't make light of this, and don't allow yourself to separate yourself from their position. Because we all know that you would not want to live like this. But somehow you believe that it is OK for others to? Don't do unto others what you would not want done to you - this means that it is unacceptable to allow others to, for example, live in such horrific conditions such as this, as we would not want to go through the same. Place yourself in the position of these animals and wake up.

  • i work at the smithfield plant here in grayson, ky and we dont kill hogs or pigs at our facility, watching this kinda scares me, but i get paid 13 dollars an hour. so i cant complain, i really dont understand why anyone would even care about the pigs since there gonna be chopped up anyways, at our plant, sanitization is everything, we wear frocks and we go through a sanitizer before going to the factory line, we ensure all our products are 100% clean and safe to eat.

  • @mastax1234 People care about the pigs because they are living, breathing animals that deserve to be treated with care and respect as ANY living being should. They are here to live and express themselves, NOT to be used as a prop for those with MONEY - this is NOT the way to treat life. If you have no respect for the life on this planet that is innocently here and does no harm to any person, then you should not be here. And it is not safe to eat - read the book "Slaughterhouse" - wake up.

  • @mastax1234 I mean is the abuse of beings just like nothing to you? You seem to just draw a blank, like you cannot fathom to feel anything at all. Millions of innocent lives abused and it's like you just shrug your shoulders. You wouldn't be able to imagine what these animals go through, yet you don't seem to see a problem with it. Unless it happens to you, you don't care. This is seriously messed up - you have to wake up to yourself - this carelessness is absolute brutality.

  • @mastax1234 People like you scare me. Why would anyone care abo
