How do you think this method was discovered? Years ago pigs were raised outdoors and had large pens for farrowing. A large number of "baby pigs" were eaten by their mothers. Farrowing pens were designed to increase the survival of the newborn piglets.
PETA uses emotional approaches to issues and never bothers to do any research. Years ago, when there were more people that grew up on farms and wild animals were part of a persons everyday life... the radical PETA crowd would be recognized for their politcal agenda.
Now, the vast majority of people grow up in the urban environment and the only large experience they have with animals is as pets. The movie "Bambi" is a fantasy and too many people grew up using it as an influance on their life. Thanks to Walt Disney the PETA people can spew their propaganda and most will fall for it.
Good point... did you grow up in an agricultural setting, Sungirl?
Is that your only reason for being against something?? Because you think it relates to Peta? Aren't there any individuals around here that use their own reasoning besides ME?? (And ladyinred)??
JEEZ!! Put me in a crate! I'm going insane!
