I'm constantly surprised at the general public's ignorance of the conditions of farming and simultaneous confidence that vegans are extremist loons.

“All our pigs are 100% pig fed for that double pig juiced in goodness!”
mmmm, sounds pig
Do you want transmissible spongiform encephalopathies? Because that's how you get transmissible spongiform encephalopathies.
sounds like there's good profit to be made before we get to that point
Does no one remember Mad Cow disease? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!
I am constantly amazed at how little people remember of even very recent history
Bush banned testing for mad cow disease in the US because he didn't want the panic. The American public was widely gaslit about it. You're the person that didn't take the crazy pills
Isn't it prionic
Don'tcha think
Pigs can't get mad cow disease
Pigs will eat anything, including each other and humans, if given the chance. Still shouldn’t be helping them in this endeavour
The title of this article is actually underselling it. They specifically give them disease-infected piglets and their feces
Employees can be seen removing the intestines of dead, disease-infected piglets and mixing them with piglet feces in a blender — a mixture to be fed to the adult breeding pigs — causing one worker to gag.
The practice, called “feedback,” is common in the pork business (or “controlled oral exposure” in industry jargon). The slurry of pig poop and parts is often fed to new female breeding pigs
Farmers specifically have to be careful when sows give birth because they will sometimes just eat the piglets. But yeah, let's make this about people forcing pigs to eat other pigs lmao
Stuff like that usually is worsened by captivity, but the title of this article is actually underselling it. They specifically give them disease-infected piglets and their feces

So this is what they mean by "natural"...
It's exactly what lions do!
Not natural at all,bit as with most things you can vote with your dollar and find humane farms and buy their products
Either thw big box stores will change or tgw meat industry will change. Awareness is the first step. Action is the next step
I see, this time I'll go to a "humane" mass murder shack, instead of my usual mass murder factory for my food.
Wtf is up with lemmy being full of asshole vegans? If people were this rabid and holier-than-thou about any other lifestyle people would be clowning on them left and right, why is that shit OK here? I see vegan fuckers comparing agriculture to genocide and poc to animals all the time! Since the fuck when is comparing black people and jews to pigs not a fucking hate crime???
All this coming from a group of literal sociopaths btw. That's what it's called when you care more about animals than people. Vegans aren't interested in reducing suffering, you can tell bc they don't bother to ethically source any of their shit. They love eating soy and quinoa farmed by exploited workers overseas and think that makes them superior to everyone around them. Go fuck yourselves you racist cunts, maybe fewer people would hate you if you didn't act like everyone who uses any animal products for any reason ever is a murderer and a rapist and a fascist while literally comparing racial minorities to animals and genocide to farming
Aww, I almost filled my bingo card!
Either thw big box stores will change or tgw meat industry will change.
Neither will change as long as capitalism is in place, they have no reason to.

We need the chickens from squidbillies with like 16 wings that secrete ranch.
This is why I shop local farms, I can't stand the evil in the meat industry and I know I'm not strong enough to become vegan so it's the next best thing
You're strong enough, dude. It's not as hard as people make it out to be. Just do some research and give it a go.
Rainbow Plant Life is an amazing channel for vegan recipes. Give her a watch or two - won't regret it. :)
