Piglets have their tails and teeth cut to keep them from harming one another in their compact quarters.
#FACTORY TOWN FARMING SKIN#
When farmed animals are treated as mere commodities, their lives are nothing short of miserable.ĭue to their overgrown size and quick rate of growth-factory farmed animals have been specifically bred to produce more meat in a shorter timeframe-many chickens on factory farms suffer skin wounds, painful lameness, and overworked hearts and lungs before being slaughtered for food.Īdditionally, farmed animals used for food often endure painful mutilations on factory farms without the use of anesthesia. What is living like for an animal on a factory farm? Undercover investigations into factory farms have found animals languishing in cages, biting the bars surrounding them out of boredom, and a prevalence of sores or other lesions on animals’ skin as a result of rubbing against hard surfaces. I don’t know who asked the sow if she wanted to turn around… So, our animals can’t turn around for the 2.5 years that they are in the stalls producing piglets. Former National Pork Producers spokesperson, Dave Werner said dismissively: These pigs endure mental suffering, are at higher risk of illness, muscle weakness, or injury, and are unable to turn around or lie down comfortably. Mother pigs on factory farms are continuously confined in cages no bigger than a refrigerator, often forced to live on concrete floors. From having millions of animals in cages so small they cannot turn around, spread out, or perform other natural behaviors, intensive animal agriculture aims to maximize profits at the expense of animal welfare. Factory farms are the largest source of animal suffering on the planet.
