A Little Relief, Finally, for Hormel Pigs

My heart hurts for these pigs, I just recently found out about how farm animals are treated and I have to say I feel "dumb" for being so ignorant as to not knowing what the truth is about the meat I have been buying at the grocery stores for so long. I haven't been able to eat pig or beef in the past 3 days after seeing just how these sick people abuse these animals and then forcefully kill them. Its really sad, and being an animal lover I just can't continue to eat something that only gives me visions of poor screaming animals being tortured. I will say that I'm not completely against eating meat because I do believe that God created animals for our enjoyment both as in companions and a food source. However, I am completely against abuse of any animal and I see these huge farms and slaughterhouses as nothing more then a dollar amount to these people. More so I just think anyone that can hurt animals like that even if they are suppose to be for food are sick and evil. It's like they enjoy seeing animals suffer and for that I can't accept or pretend I don't know about it. So, I really hope that more people become aware of what is happening to these animals as the expense of our stomachs which ultimately is leading to obesity and health issues in America which over consumption of fatty meats. There really needs to be more enforcement as to the conditions and treatment of these poor animals. They deserve at the least to be raised free range, fed, and treated with compassion as the living creatures they are. I just see so much wrong in how these animals are living and while I'm not claiming to be a vegan or vegetarian these stories have made such an impact on me that I can't continue to contribute to the problem because unlike these in these inhumane people I have a conscious and I am so glad that the workers in this stories were held accountable!!!

I just don't get how humans with a conscience make a living killing animals! Do they go home and tell thier families, 'Yeah, I threw a piglet against the wall and broke its back, oh and for fun I put a stick up a pregnant sows vagina. It was a great day! And son, someday you can work with me!' Yeah, thats pride. So glad Im vegetarian.

You have supposedly been working on this a very long time and what has changed?Removing the crates to make it easier these jerks kick these poor creatures you think that is really an Improvement! not!

We humans say we are not barbarians they say we are evolved and refined but when we use animals for our own punching bags and forget they have feelings they hurt to they are not on earth to make you feel better when your life is sh!t there not here for you to abuse because your to much of a coward to get help and get out of a bad life in light of this we are not barbarians we are worst we are monsters I choose not to follow this path I do everything to save animals it may not seem like a lot but one small effot could mean one huge change.

Agree with other posters another 5 yrs of torture and abuse if i was american i would be ashamed to be american, here in the UK and Sweden they are banned and illegal, if smaller Countries like ourselves can do this why can't America??? Simple they want to make more money with no regard to animal welfare or suffering and even when if ever Hormel Suppliers stop using tis method i doubt very much the abuse will stop. If i can remember i think i read on PETA after the investigation Hormel said they would stop in 2012 or was it 2015 now its 2017 dont believe anything they say they are full of crap this investigation was in 2008 so its taking them 9 yrs???? I say to everyone watch the video and pay attention to the beginning of it when the worker is hitting the pig turn your volume up high and listen to her scream in pain then explain to the Countries like us why you let this carry on.
