Say no to cruel crates for pigs

The Issue

Millions of pigs are confined inside gestation crates—cages so small they’re unable even to turn around.

The pork industry’s leadership continues to defend the indefensible: Locking animals in these tiny, cramped cages. It’s hard to imagine a more miserable existence than being immobilized day and night.

Please join us in calling on the pork industry to get animals out of these iron maidens. Let the National Pork Board know that you say “NO” to gestation crates for pigs.
