CHICAGO — A disturbing video released exclusively to Fox News by the animal rights group Mercy for Animals (MFA) shows a string of alleged abuses at one of the nation's largest pig farms, including footage of employees picking up baby pigs and tossing them like footballs.
("In other news, 1.2 million abortions occured in 2008. And now a word from our sponser, Mr. Clean.")

There was an “edgey” photographer (in the 1970s I believe) who photographed a tattooed fetus. But then, that’s just tissue.
>> picking up baby pigs and tossing them like footballs.
But they ARE little baby footballs! Let ‘em play football when they’re young, and then make ‘em into bacon!
The Islamic snuff videos of kidnap victims being slaughtered didn’t get much press either. Oh sure, the first couple got mention and the it just became so much old hat.

Oh,..don’t forget the cows we keep penned up for short periods of time to steal their milk,...we being the only mammal to suckle from another in the animal kingdom. lol
“picking up baby pigs and tossing them like footballs.”

Do I hear banjo music?

Thanks for adding this.
If a farmer wants to throw his pigs, he should be able to do so without a law preventing him.
They are his pigs and his property.
If said farm were in Georgia, yes, but since it's in Pennsylvania I'm guessing...what, an Amish tune?
From Calvin and Hobbes:
Who was the first person to look at a cow's udder and think, "I think I'll squeeze these and drink whatever comes out."
They should really like the part where you take a little piggy, turn him upside down, take a razerblade to their scrotum, pop the little nuggets out and lop them off.
The farm dogs just LOVE those tasty little tidbits.
People just have NO idea how and what it takes to put that meat on their McMuffin.
I have raised pigs, cows, chickens and geese - I have killed deer, elk, ducks and fish - and consumed all of them. I have never tormented or needlessly harmed a dumb animal and anyone who does so for entertainment is one sick creep.
FUMBLE! THE PIGSKIN IS A LIVE BALL. THEY ARE DIVING AND SLAPPING IT AROUND UNDER THE PILE WHO’S GOT IT, WAITING FOR THE REFEREE’S SIGNAL.........
RECOVERED BY ARMOUR STAR OF THE BACON’S!!! WHAT A PLAY!!!!
FIRST DOWN, BACON!!
Why is this in breaking news?
What a waste feeding the mountain oysters to the dogs!
mmmm mmm mmmm
My daughter was feeding her pigs yesterday and almost got trampled by the 12 piglets.
I suspect that pigs can give it and take it.
What exactly were they doing in the video?
