National Hog Farmer quotes Derrick Sleezer, president of the
National Pork Board:
National Pork Board:
Every day, America’s pork producers are busy on their farms and may not
always have immediate access to information that could impact their operation. Disease
outbreaks and other emergency situations can spread quickly, so America’s pig
farmers need a news service to notify them immediately and enable them to take
early action to safeguard their farms.
Of course, the
National Pork Board’s main concern is profits, not the lives of the pigs it
raises.

On modern-day farms,
pigs suffer severe misery and neglect. Diseases such as Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus run rampant. Pigs are painfully mutilated
and kept in extreme confinement. Piglets considered unviable by the industry
are violently killed by slamming their heads against the floor. These are considered
“standard practices in the cruel pork business.
