This Little Piggy Went to Market ...

I didn't know that (IDKT) .... There is a pig farmer in Iowa that cuts off their pig's tails so they won't be bitten by other pigs?

Why you ask; because they are packed so tightly in pens and left that way for approx 5 months. After watching the movie "Food, Inc", I doubt they ever get to leave their cramped quarters during this approximate 5 month period which is the time it takes them to grow to full capacity, ready for slaughter. Their diet of corn and antibiotics, genetically modified corn laden w pesticides I might add, is a sure bet that they get to their full size in such a short amount of time.

Makes you want to run to the store and buy some pork right --- NOT!!!!

Now you know (NYK)! Pass it along and be A VOICE FOR CHANGE.

Namaste (I bow to you), Donna Appel
