Tell Tyson to Stop Torturing Pigs


For three weeks I lived a lie to expose the truth while working undercover at a Tyson hog factory farm in Oklahoma. What I saw was a living nightmare.

Thousands of pregnant pigs spent nearly their entire lives crammed into cages so small they could barely move. They couldn’t turn around, walk or even lie down comfortably.

 I saw pigs with open wounds and bloody pressure sores from rubbing against the bars of their metal cages or lying on hard concrete.

Pigs would constantly ram their heads against their tiny stalls or spend hour after hour, day after day, biting the bars of their cages out of frustration.

 These intelligent and social animals were literally driven mad in these hellish conditions.

I also saw workers violently slamming piglets headfirst into the concrete and leaving them to suffer and slowly die.

 Some of the piglets were spiked against the ground like footballs.

 I found one piglet still conscious and breathing in a pile of dead piglets. Nobody bothered to make sure she was dead before just throwing her away.

Piglets had their tails cut off and their testicles ripped out of their bodies without any painkillers.

 Sick and injured pigs with severe, bleeding wounds or infections were left to languish without veterinary care.

I saw workers gouge the eyes of pigs, violently hit them with wooden boards, and in one case, even throw a heavy bowling ball at a pig’s head.

 Such sadistic cruelty was widespread at this Tyson factory farm.While this brutality and neglect is shocking,

 I think the worst abuse these animals endure is being immobilized in tiny, maggot-infested gestation crates.

 Animal welfare experts around the world agree that these crates are inherently cruel and should be phased out. In fact, gestation crates are so cruel they have been banned in nine U.S. states, as well as in the entire European Union.
Responding to consumer concerns, nearly every major food provider in the country, including McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, Chipotle, Safeway, Kroger, Kmart and Costco, have demanded their suppliers do away with these cruel crates.
Major pork producers, such as Smithfield and Hormel, have committed to phasing out gestation crates, and Cargill is already 50 percent crate-free.
But not Tyson.

Tyson continues to torture pigs by cramming them in cages barely larger than their own bodies for nearly their entire lives.

Thank you.

Okay, so exactly where is Animal Control or any of the animal rights groups here on this?  Why are they ignoring these kinds of issues but making issues out of areas that are not real issues at all against regular people?  Because it's all a smoke screen?  The above is the reason we are supposed to have animal rights groups.  Bottom line here is we are talking about food.  We should be taking better care of the stock of food we eat.  There is no reason to torture pigs, in fact it's unhealthy for us that we do so as it does cause a contamination of our food supply.  

  The answer here is simple.  Never buy Tyson pork products.  Put them out of the pork business.  It's not up to government to do something about this.  It's up to the people who are informed to vote with our dollars the correct way.  If you support this kind of behavior, buy Tyson pork.  If you do not support this kind of behavior, do not buy Tyson anything.  Constitutional law prevents the government from getting involved here, but they do it anyway.  Government is not supposed to recognize groups of any form, yet we all know that this right of the people has been well usurped.  That does not mean we are still not in control.  Again, do not buy Tyson products if you do not support this kind of behavior.
