During all the swine flu stuff did you see the way that Mexican and Egyptian pigs were kept?? Makes the NZ pigs look like they're in the Hilton. |

Actually the cages looked very similar to the NZ ones. You can't get much smaller. I have been to a pig farm before, one where they were inside, but in pens, and the smell is something out of this world. I assume it is worse in those caged farms. I love how when the swine flu first broke out, you had the head of the NZ Pork board very quickly coming out to say that pork products were unaffected, but on this they have been silent to date. It is all about money and greed. All I can say is Animal Farm, and I hope this pigs get their own back on these farmers. |
