  • It is a disgrace how we keep adjusting the animals to their environment and exploiting them. Absolutely inhumane and disgusting!

  • Pigs, piglets...very smooth...piglets, water vapor, not smoke....pigs, hogs, swine, very cool. Pigs, hogs, this one cartridge will get me through the whole day. Pigs, hogs, very smooth too.

  • the only pig i like are pot belly pigs. these pigs can just rot in those tiny area. gah, i hate all pigs accept potbellied

  • @xxxbustedsoulxxx yah we call that intolerence, hitler also hated jews for no reason.

  • @xxxbustedsoulxxx Why do you hate pigs? Do you have a tiny penis and compensate for this by hating animals for no reason?

  • The problem is human overpopulation. the more humans the more this planet is destroyed. I am hoping for an alien airborne virus that stops humans from reproducing. that would also be humane solution because humans would just die out of old age and it would give them time to clean up the mountains of human crap on earth before they went extinct :)

  • @ZeroHumans then that means you would die. smart one.

  • Nice fruit for him :) Looks happy !

  • I have no religion and I do not eat pig in supermarket because the production is not normal...

  • I wish I could save them all, or better still , embarress all the greedy human who eat their flesh in the first place, they should be ashamed of them selfs, very hipocriticle really as it is a well known fact that the human body is a herbivore

  • em ... one simple question ... why did they just rescued ONE and not all? i think thats stupid ... so just strawberry can live ... and the other will go to slaughthouse and will be kill there ...

  • this is so sweet! was it the little one who was lying down, and others were chewing on his ears??

  • @TheFoxandTheRabbit HI! I know, I was worried that piglet was dead? I think piglets are adorable!! They're like dogs! I still want my pet piglet!

  • yes they are ! so cute, and like dogs/ :)

  • im sorry to burst ya bubble love but strawberry would still exist even if nobody ate meat anyway, not eating meat wouldnt stop pigs from having piglets :S. what a stupid thing to say hahaahahahahaha. And you wouldnt need cages to make sure the sow didnt roll on her piglets if they were in a free range farm.. There's quite alot of space on an open field to keep her from actually sitting on her piglets dont you think :)

  • use your brain... if it wasnt for heartless people like yourself demanding to eat another intellectual being's body then they would not have been raised or born...

    also the point isn't that the pig can't roll over. no one cares if the farm is free range. the point is you shouldn't eat other living creatures, period.

  • Eventually, as less people eat meat, the demand decreases, and so does the "supply" (i.e. the amount of pigs bred within the industry).

    Also, while free-range farms are less cruel, they still involve exploitation and violence. Sentient beings aren't commodities - they are individuals with intrinsic value and their own interests that do not include being another's property, or being killed.

    People don't need animal products...So why harm anyone at all, if it's unnecessary?

  • Love it!!!!

  • I can't see how you can make it to something bad, to be vegan, all vegans try to, is to NOT hurt the animals. Tell me, how can that be bad? Please explain, why is it better to be a meat eater?

  • You know they said the same thing about people that helped slaves escape and don't tell it's different because they're animals . They also used to think blacks weren't real "humans".

  • This is the reason I completely gave up all pork, ham & bacon, I won't touch it. This is so cruel, complete confinement for years on end, they can't even move or interact properly with their litter, they must go insane. They may be animals, but surely they have the right to move. Where is our humanity.

  • those pigs must become insane from lack of movement/stimulation, thats so harsh, if you eat meat eat free range only, if not at all.

  • @speedfreak18ish while i agree with the sediment of it...free range farms are usually just as bad as regular farms. all a farm has to do is giver their animals access to the outside this means a door that doesn't necessarily have to be open

  • and how often are they pregnant ekit? one pregnancy after another?....keep on eating all that saturated fat - you ignorant little twerp.

    Only evil people would exploit helpless beings -period!

  • ekitsyekcul you are an ignorant person. You should really get a life. Have a great heart attack--I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!

  • Figures--you're a loser ekitsyekcul and don't think that you are doing anyone a favor by saying you are 'feeding a nation' meat is so bad for you--I laugh at your ignorance. You know nothing of a vegan diet--so don't speak about it.

  • Ignore ekitsye-whatever, he's a dying breed. Stay true to your values - you are not alone!

  • I could already live with it if animals were kept in normal conditions, and killed in a humane way. I can understand why people eat meat but you gotta remember where it came from, and that those animals deserve respect

  • Even under these horrific conditions they are still open and friendly. Heartbreaking. Go ALF! One day we will save them all by going vegan.

    In peace.

  • man, it would have been sooo hard to just pick one, i would have wanted to take all of them!

  • om nom nom

  • I hear what you're saying Ekitsyekcul but being "grown for meat" is not a life. It's objectifying a living being. It's like when people say "if it weren't for Humans there would be no pigs so they should consider themselves lucky we eat them" - it's off the point!Fair enough we mutated the species but that doesn't make it right that we keep them in cages for our food craves. No matter under which conditions. Some slaves were lucky they had good masters, that still didn't make slavery right

  • Okay I see your point as well but show me where "we mutated the species" "keep them in cages for our food craves". A cage is a box or encloser having some open work for confining or carrying animals. Come to my family farm, take a tour, see through your eyes not a video camera's. Take a pet store. If the pet owner abuses the animals will he be able to sell them no. If he takes care of them, they sell and he makes a profit. We mutated the species (dogs)kept them in cages for our emotional craves.

  • I've been to farms. In fact,in Portugal - where I'm from - the big meat industry isn't big yet, so farms are pretty much a family thing as well. Small businesses,better treated animals. I don't think it's Ethic to make a profit out of animals. I don't buy in pet stores and I definitely do not subscribe to raising animals in meat farms - i understand they have more room in yours,but they are still in closure in a very unhealthy way,separated from each other and most of the times wth no sun light

  • DO NOT TALK ABOUT MY OPERATION UNTIL YOU HAVE BEEN HERE!!! We are a family farm we needed to get larger to survive any swine farmer is growing the pigs for meat. Do you sell your pigs? Then you subscibe to to raising animals in a meat farm. You are growing meat. the industry standard includes double curtain barns that allow sunlight to enter the pigs are kept in a clean environment separated into 150 head pens. If you overcrowd them they get sick and cost more money to grow. Thus it is not done.

  • i'm not talking about yours because obviously i do not know you or your farm but I am addressing animal farms in general. I do NOT EAT meat, so i definitely do not subscribe to it in any shape or form. Haven't been a part of animal exploitation for almost 10years now and I am very proud of it. It's a choice. You chose to make money out of other living beings, I chose the ethical life and to make my own money without animal exploitation. We have free will. But we can also question our choices.

  • we can go around this all year-long. There is no absolute right or wrong,we each manage with what we have - but faced with facts, when we choose to ignore a chance to do good, then what is our purpose in life? If you can make a difference,then why not try it out? Sometimes we need to question our own lives. Specially if, in a way or another, we are harming other living beings - and i am not referring to insects, i mean Conscious beings,capable of feeling pain and joy, intelligent living things

  • You still treat them as objects and kill them. Boo on you!

  • If I were to treat each pig as a family member I would not get time to feed them all or myslf. Furthermore, I would not be able to feed a nation, the world, or turn a profit.they are a job and a source of income, treat your job like a human and not a source for cash flow it will not work. Oh yes I don't kill them we have mexicans at the processing facilities to do that for us.

  • Happy ending for just one piglet :-)

  • "Strawberry" was a dink. In the natural world Strawbeery would not have survived the first week because she was weak and only the strong survived. By rescueing her nature was violated

  • I'm struggling to understand if by this comment you mean you believe she shouldn't have been saved or if you agree with the rescue...

  • Yes, it was good that Strawberry was rescued. However due to the current market situations and the amount of energy and time needed to raise Strawberry to a proper size, it would not be profitable. Strawberry's only hope was to be "rescued" like she was and sent to a hobby farm. In a "for-profit" like that of the family farms, and the organic farms, etc. Strawberry would have been euthanized and no one would know the better. In a protien market life isn't fair.

  • well, they're all "euthanized" in the end... i feel really uncomfortable with the use of that word towards animals... euthanizing is assisting in wanted death, and I don't see them asking Humans to help them die... either way (sorry, this wasn't a go at you, just at the word) they are all gonna die horribly and they all have a very miserable life (if one can call being fed in a cage a life) - they all deserve rescue. But I'm happy Strawberry was luckier than all the others. At least 1 was.

  • But they do not die horribly. In the newest facilities they go to sleep via oxygen deprivation where they literally fall asleep then black out and die. they do not know what is happening and do not panic. I have seen it happen. I do not like the work cage. Be that the case we have cages that are 80x100 feet. In all honesty, attempt to visit a farm and see for yourself.

  • As I see it, ethically, a human-provoked death to a conscious being is non-the-less killing. Plants/insects are not self-aware - pigs like cats, dogs, Humans,etc, are. Living in a cage first of all, is not a "Life" or "Natural", no matter if it's 10cm or 10m long. As we need our freedom to preserve our mental health so do other animals. Therefore hearing someone say "they only die of lack of air" sounds to me like "we've only taken Jews to the gas chamber, not like we shot them or anything..."

  • They get groggy and then black out. Later they die of suffocation by lack of oxygen. They are not gassed. the process takes over half an hour to complete. The swine do not fight, struggle to breathe, or panic. Get into bed and pull the blankets over your head and breathe. Soon the oxygen is depleted and you get groggy, same thing different time frame. Their mental health is preserved throughout the process and the death is peaceful. Any animal grown for meat should hope to be so lucky.

  • again, have been trying to reply for days bt the comment is above. don't know why it doesn't allow me to...

  • As by Merriam Webster the definition of euthansia is the act of killing an individual that is hopelessly sick or injured for reasons of mercy. In the pen or in the wild plains the animal would die a much more horrible death of starvation, preditation, or exposure. Therefore they are indeed euthanized.

  • oh come on... You said it yourself "hopelessly" and "sick". Tell me: are all these pigs sick? Would you even eat a sick pig? That's trying to twist facts. The point is that in the wild they would live their own life and their own choices - and die by their own mistakes. Who are we to choose to put animals in cages because we chose to eat that specific species and then call them "lucky" cause we kill them "nicely"?

  • for some reason i cant comment as a reply to your posts ekitsyekcul, so the reply is above x

  • They are held in the pens to prevent other females from attacking and killing their piglets. Female at child birth are very protective and will attack humans if they are not kept in the pens. the pens are small to allow the most animals per barn as humanely feasable. Hope this helps.

  • damn this makes me hungry!

  • okay... then watch this one:

  • Awesome - New Zealand ALF rule!

  • Thanks ALF your my heros.

  • Thankyou ALF for doing what many of us want to do, but don't or can't.  You are champions! All the best to Strawberry for a good and happy life.

  • I pitty the poor pig (the mother) mostly.. why did they have like that.. she could not even move.. anyway..

  • Pigs are not mean animals--they do go after their pigs--unless they are kept in a confined space and go crazy. Stop definding yourself. I have two 10 yr old Hampshire pigs that I rescued as piglets and they are wonderful! Go Veg or go vegan!

  • The only time that wehave true issues with the territorial problems is during farrowing. I doubt you had farrowed either of your swine. This is the only time that we place our sows in crates and it is done to prevent the sows from laying on the piglets and the sows from attacking each other when they establish a site. It allows the most efficient usage of the space provided by the climate controlled farrowing facilities. Support your local econony, EAT MEAT!!

  • Put all pig farmers out of business!! NEVER EAT MEAT!!!! WHEN YOU QUIT YOUR HEALTH IMPROVES!!!
