When people think about pigs, they think about the movie "Babe" or a cute little pig like Henry...

...or perhaps a pig like Sugarbear enjoying the pasture grass...

...or perhaps pigs like Oscar and Spanky who are free to wander out in the field to their favorite mud hole.

Reality

(Pig - Gestation Crates - 01)  There is no liberty, or freedom, or joy for farmed pigs; there is only misery from the day they are born to the day they die.  Female pigs used for breeding (called 'breeding sows' by industry) are confined most of their lives in 'gestation crates' which are so small that they cannot even turn around. The pigs' basic needs are denied, and they experience severe physical and psychological disorders.  They don't even have enough room to lie down in a comfortable position.
