Every year in the U.S., 50 million male piglets are castrated with non-sterile instruments and any without pain relief.
Even industrial agriculture admits this procedure is highly painful – as the babies emit high-frequency squeals and tremble alone for days afterward.
But this barbaric practice continues to protect BIG PORK’s bottom line. Without some intervention, male pig meat will emit a “boar taint” – an unpleasant odor and taste – that is deemed undesirable by the U.S. marketplace.
URGENT: there is NO EXCUSE. Around the world, countries are implementing castration bans, requiring pain relief, and offering alternatives to a crude practice that should have been left behind decades ago.
