I have read to the end of the thread so I know that you know that the sows are put into tight quarters so they will not roll on their babies and mash them.

We were cattle raisers but a man who worked for us brought some hogs onto our ranch. A sow had about 10 piglets in a large pen. She lay down on all but one and killed them. When our employee found the one remaining piglet he brought it to me to raise on a bottle.

It was a very fun exercise that I had never done before (or since). My little boys helped me and they played with the pig, even riding her when she got big enough. We named her Fern and when she was big enough she went to slaughter like the 9 that were lost would have done. It is the way of the world, sorry it upsets you.

I eat pork. Humane is humane.
Nuff said.
