okay, i realize this should probably be in P&N, but i hardly go there....

A local prosecutor in North Carolina is investigating allegations of animal cruelty by a pig farm supplying Smithfield Foods, the nation?s largest pork producer. The investigation comes after an animal rights activist secretly videotaped workers beating and dragging swine, gouging out their eyes and cutting out their testicles.

Attorneys from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals presented their case to the Sampson County District Attorney's Office in North Carolina on Monday and will turn over videotapes and a signed affidavit by PETA's undercover investigator, who says he witnessed daily violent mistreatment of baby and adult pigs at Murphy Family Ventures Garland Sow Farm in Garland, N.C.

In the black-and-white video, a supervisor can be heard bragging to the undercover PETA investigator that he brutally beats the animals.

"I ain't going to lie to you; I've done it," he says. "My temper is about that long. I get f? frustrated and I have knocked the s? out of them. Like that one bit me the other morning, that mother f?.... I cut the s? out of his G?d? nose with a f? gate rod."

At least he wasn't porking the pigs 🙂
Seriously who cares? Yeah, it's a sh!tty life being a pig. But I don't buy a porkchop to have a cheerful conversation with it. 😀
 
Damn pigs are so damn loud. All I could think was "Kill the fscker already, jeezuz".
 
Wow you guys are fucked up. I'm not about to stop eating meat, but I think we should work towards humane treatment and not just torture the shit out of anything we feel like. Jesus.
 
This focus on mass production provides a sad state for a civilized society.
Small, individually owned farms would provide better treatment of the animals and better food quality for humans.
Pigs are smart animals and are quite aware of what is happening to them. That treatment is a shame on our society.
 
I only buy free range meats for this reason. The conditions at these factory farms are disgusting. Aside from the horrendous way in which the animals are treated (just because they're being raised to be eaten doesn't mean they should have to suffer while they're alive), the chemicals they pump them with are enough to make me not want to eat anything from there.

Would you treat dogs this way? Most animal experts place the intelligence level of a pig at or above most dogs.

The really sad part in all this is that I have to share a planet with scum like you.

No you don't, there are options. Personally I think you'd fuck up blowing your head off, so why don't you find a tall building.

Including dogs and horses, which means you won't care when I chain a dog to a wall and starve it to death for fun and then go out to have tortured-horse stew, right?
