"If this is the "right thing to do", then farmers, by and large, wouldn't have to be forced to do it and wouldn't have to be fined for not doing so."

Nonsense! People cut corners all the time to save money, and it happens frequently when the victims of their greed are animals (or children, or others unable to speak up for themselves). When animals are neglected or treated inhumanely -- and that's a massive problem that is not being voluntarily addressed by producers -- it's time for the law to step in and protect them.

I pray that you're opinion is in the minority if you believe that pigs not having toys equates with neglect or inhumane treatment. Or are you going to suggest a similar law for human children?
