A shocking and disturbing video taken by an undercover investigator at a pig farm depicts the horrific extent of animal cruelty being practiced at a pork-supply company used by Walmart.

Mercy For Animals released the graphic video which documents the daily animal abuse allegedly taking place at Christensen Farms in Minnesota. The video depicts hundreds of pigs packed into cages so tiny, they can barely move or even turn around. Some of the usually-social animals bite down on the bars just for something to do.

No one condones animal torture but neither can the world be supplied with needed hemi protein and still provide animal utopia for food species before slaughter

No one is talking about 'animal utopia' just human decency! (Pr.12:10)

Gee, and unnecessary animal abuse is going on?

They aren't being treated like material things instead of something that is alive that can feel pain?

Much of this is simply trying to squeeze a few extra pennies of profit.

Now that these videos have come out, I am sure you will see many of the precedures be altered to be more humane because of the bad press.

No there was nothing about chickens, or eggs in the initiative, it was only about hogs.

How you make that logical leap is amazing!

Compassion for a helpless animal is not the same as seeking justice for a crime.

No one is campaigning against ‘our’ food supply, only on how it is treated.

The pig farmers that I know treat their pigs very well. a happy pig gains faster and is healthy so makes more money.

Jesus didn’t do that to the pigs, the devils in them did it.

I have been a little nervous about pork ever since a buddy explained that a hog farm was a great place to get rid of a body by feeding it to the pigs.

Cruelty in all its forms sickens me and diminishes the entire human race. :-(

To animals we are Gods, let us pray God does not decide to treat us as we have sometimes treated animals.

Best comedy show on TV now, “Whale Wars”!
Great show tonight, Sea Shepherd small boats deployed Kevlar ropes to foul Japanese props. Japanese salvaged 8 ropes. then towed (150 meter) lines aft of two harpoon ships to port and starboard of the Sea Shepherd to guide it away from the whalers mother ship.
Laughed my Obama off!
My wife and I have no doubts about the women on board the Sea Shepherd!
As for the real pigs, Domestic or tame you do not want to fall on the ground around a boar or a sow. They will eat you. I always carried a billy when in my uncle’s pig-lot.
