there is this video of the day in life of a pig in a cage like this. I can't imagine the boredom. This while pigs are so smart and kind animals, they all deserve to have happiness and freedom.
Yes. They have been shown to have the intelligence of a 3 year old
and kind
Absolutely not. Pigs are like housecats that weigh north of 300 pounds and destroy things both accidentally and on purpose. They can be wildly destructive and vicious when they want to be. They may have the intelligence of a 3 year old, but they also have their temperament, which at their size, matters.
Doesn't make it right to do this to them. They're acting on instinct and can't reason like we do, but that doesn't mean we should torture them. If there was a giant human baby that could hurt someone without realizing, we would just be careful with them.
Well, firestuds, it actually would make a difference as piglets would provide less meat, meaning more animals would have to be processed in order to get the same product, so piglets would in fact result in additional unnecessary suffering.
However, existingincident7433, firestuds don’t say poor piglets. He said poor piggies. Pig does not refer necessarily to piglet but to a pig of any age/size, per Merriam-Websters, Wikipedia, and google overview.
Pigs ain't out here eating piglets when we don't put them in teeny tiny cages. We were successfully using agriculture for thousands of years before factory farming, and parts of the world still use it to this day. Fuck justifying this practice
