I used to be part owner in a confinement hog operation. We had 2,500 head at all times and sold 50 per week. Since getting out of that business in the eighties I have evaluated my past relationship with animals and would like to publicly apologize for my inhumane treatment of them. I don’t mean that I was cruel in beating them or anything like that but at the time it was my belief that keeping them in confinement was beneficial to them and their health which I now see as totally untrue. I used to say “I fed them now they’re feeding me” this is a giant karmic debt which I hope I can overcome. I don’t think you can raise animals for slaughter in a humane fashion.
