- Pétition pour l'interdiction immédiate, en Grande-Bretagne, des cages

pour les truies en gestation

 

Almost all pigs raised for meat in Britain are factory farmed indoors in

overcrowded, ill-lit, filthy conditions that cause extreme discomfort

and stress to these intelligent animals.

 

Every time they give birth, most breeding pigs spend a month or more in

a metal farrowing crate so small they can barely move.

 

Contrary to the image painted by the British pig industry and the

Government, most pigs never see any bedding and spend their lives on

dirty, wet concrete. Unsurprisingly, diseases are rife and so is the use

of drugs and antibiotics.
