It's standard practice in the pork industry to thump piglets. Thumping is when farmers slam the piglets headfirst into the ground because they won't meet a size requirement or are sick and deemed a waste. This act is completely legal in the United States as well as other countries. There are other options the farmers can use that are humane, ethical and not violent. Please sign and spread the word. We have to use our voices for the ones who can’t.
