Brian, your editorial on pigs, was highly disappointing, you are on the side of the cruel and depraved, greedy, profit driven pig farmers. Good people put themselves at risk going into these disgusting places to film what's going on and let the public know.
No animal should be caged, all living creatures should be treated with kindness and respect.
Since pigs are intelligent animals, probably more-so than you, would you mind if I put you in a small cage where you can wallow in your own crap for a few years, and I'll give you a poke with a stick every now and then...
Well treated pigs, with space, don't attack each other, and even if they, did, magnesium put in their feed would cure that, and all aggressive behaviour.
This kind of cruelty is unacceptable, and it makes my heart sink, what humans do to animals and each other is out of control, free all hens and pigs, and increase the penalties for all animal cruelty, they feel just as much fear and pain as us and therefore, the laws should be much tougher.
Your sarcastic tomato ramblings, were stupid, and made me want to biff your redneck rag out the window.
