    The pigs I raise are well taken care of and have a happy life till they are sent to the abittoire

    2 days ago one of my pigs was sick and not moving, I spent 4 hours getting it moving and eating, gave em sugar water, lots of belly rubs

    I get waste food from grocery stores (bread, eggs, pies, etc) feed it to the pigs, also my own leftovers are fed to the pigs and then they transform waste into delicious bacon

    The only troll is the omnivore who refuses to have the other 50% of their diet. But again, I don’t give a flying duck what you eat.

      “The people I raise are well taken care of and have a happy life ‘til I cart them off to the gas chamber.”

      I’m sure I’ll get something like “well pigs aren’t people” — so because they’re not human it’s totally okay and humane to fucking kill them because god forbid we stop eating bacon we so utterly/obviously/clearly don’t need to survive.

      How about this: maybe let’s not kill animals if it’s not absolutely necessary for our survival.

        Ah the naieveity of a idiot from a city

        You know hunting? The act of killing wild animals is FAR more humane than this

        And is useful for keeping population in control to stop over population, be it deer, wolves, cyotes, etc

        I’m not gonna bother to argue against a naieve idiot.

        Factory farming should, that shot is cruelty at its finest

          I grew up in a hunting family and I’ve been hunting several times in my life thank you very much. The variety of game I was force fed growing up tasted like shit too.

          I won’t pretend to know the right answer for population control (there’s a whole debate about it and I acknowledge my ignorance on the subject), but my theory is why bother? I don’t need to kill a bunch of animals to survive so I won’t.

          You acknowledge factory farming is pretty cursed, but it wouldn’t surprise me if I found out you’re still buying up meat products whether it be in stores, restaurants or elsewhere.

            OK cool,you don’t like game meat, I get it, don’t know what point you’re trying to make here.

            The reason for population control is it throws out the stability of the current ecosystem. Deer, moose, elk can do a shot ton of damage if population is not maintained, just google ‘super pigs’

            I buy as little meat from stores as possible, I use local farms for my beef and I raise my own chickens (3 egg layers and 15 meats), 2 pigs and around 20 Katahdin sheep.

            So again, what point are y’all trying to make?

          Stop being uncivil.

          No shooting someone is not humane.

          There are other ways to manage populations without subjecting animals to cruelty…

            What was uncivil?

            When did I talk about shooting others?

            Predatory animals are the only other population control that works. Look at what caused the wild boars to become overpopulated, they tried to capture and nuter em… That worked really good…

            Is this more civil than a quick death by being shot?

            Seriously how old are you? Have you ever been in the woods?

            Your entire argument is let’s be civil when this world is NOT civilized in the slightest.

            If you want to eat ultra process food packed with things like sodium nitrate, potassium sorbate and other highly toxic chemicals, that is YOUR perogative.

            Please provide me with some evidence or something that proves YOUR point, calling me uncivilized is counter productive and shows your lack if education on the subject
