Not saying these pigs were from factory farms (which have been largely banned in Europe), but they are pretty prevalent in the US. I’d recommend Scully’s book, Dominion, for more information. It’s a tough read though; if you’ve never heard of factory farms, and have an ounce of decency in you, you will be utterly shocked and disgusted by what humans have done to God’s creatures for the sake of cheap food.

Matt Scully’s book is very conservative-based and thoroughly grounded in Christian moral doctrine, which makes the description of what actually goes on inside factory farms (a/k/a intensive farms) all the more disturbing. There is nothing even close to decent, animal husbandry or God’s call to exercise dominion over the animals that takes place in those awful pits of hell. It only goes on because of government subsidies to horrible outfits like Clinton’s big backer- Perdue; and tens of thousands of illegal immigrant workers.
