Pigs are highly intelligent & already suffer an horrific death on human's behalf. General standards for pigs are already questionable, never mind adding confinement for sows during gestation. This should be prohibited - any farmer that can't make a profit w'out cruelty, from an animal already producing more than a dozen offspring a pop; shouldn't be farming. Dare i say, any farmer WANTING to put sows in 'stalls' shouldn't be in charge of animal stock.
Farrowing crates, gestation crates and stalls are unacceptably and inexcusably cruel confinement for pigs. All ethical, civilised governments must ban use of these in 2021. Phase-out agreements by the agriculture industry are not acceptable as previous agreements have been broken. If the agriculture industry claims that this ban would be unprofitable, then the industry should shut down and move to other industries such as plant- based industries.
I am signing this because farrowing crates and sow stalls should NOT be used. It is inhumane. Surely we can do much better than this otherwise shame on us as a civilised race.
