This is an interesting comparison of the two very different ways to raise animals for slaughter.
The practice of confinement farming has far reaching consequences to the environment and poses health risks to the consumer.
I wonder if some of the posters who think cheep bacon is all that matters would feel that way if they had this type operation in their community.


I'd like to know what health risks the environment and the consumer face, and if I'm sure that there are farms in Indiana raising penned hogs for slaughter.

We need to stop assigning human attributes to dumb animals. A hog is unlike humans in many ways, including the fact that they will eat their own sh.. and like it.

Stories about how livestock is raised, for this reason is better left untold.

Wacko environmentalists are good for Indiana farmers though. I know an egg farmer with 1.5million chickens here in Indiana, and because of California's environmental laws 90% of his eggs end up in Cali bellies. EnvironmentLism wins again, $3 a doz. eggs from Indiana!

Are high. It's your opinion but I don't like the concept of anything being forced to suffer.

 

 

Being forced to suffer? Do you have any idea why crates are used in the first place? They are used to protect the piglets from getting crushed or otherwise harmed by the sows until the piglets are old enough to keep themselves out of danger. It is not uncommon to lose several piglets per litter without the crate.

 Hogs are actually very clean animals and if they have the room will not eat in the same place as they defecate. Have you ever been around a hog other than Denny's grand Slam?

 They are also considered the 4th most intelligent mammal behind Humans the great apes and the porpoise.Its easy to spout off one liners and belittle people to win an argument.The information is out there if you take the time to find it but that would take some effort and its probably much easier to listen to Rush and let him decide for you.
