First off I would suggest people visit a hog farm and see the crates if they've never actually been around one. Before big companies like Tyson flooded the market with pork driving the price down my family farmed hogs. The sow has space but is confined enough to prevent them from squashing her piglets. So if you call stacking up dead pigs that were suffocated to death humane then go ahead and continue to "squeal". I stongly support the Humane Society but they really need to pick their battles more wisely.

So you would rather animals suffer than spend a few extra dollars? Fortunately not everyone is as cheap, and selfish as you.

Great! Now we are going to have free range pigs and the price will double just like it did with the Chickens! I went to Walmart the other day and a 1 lb of good bacon was $14 !!!! I guess its time to go back to eating Squirrel and rabbit..
