I guarantee it. I can think of no more cruel, brutal and inhumane treatment of these poor creatures. I sometimes find it hard to believe that we humans are considered great in the grand scheme of things. Meaning that they have a family complete with a social hierarchy. Commercial farming is literally destroying the traditions and genetic histories of these wonderful animals.
Lets look at the pork industry.
Just when you think it can get no worse then the beef industry, go to a hog farm. Anywhere in the country. These highly intelligent animals are treated horrendously on a routine basis. They are beaten daily by the sadistic workers that this industry seems to attract. They are kicked, hit with baseball bats, pushed with bulldozers, picked up with forklifts and dropped from heights that break bones and cause internal injuries.
