Talk Back: The McFib and
Cruel Gestation Crates: November
10, 2011
Yesterday,
I wrote about arguments before the U.S.
Supreme Court by the
slaughterhouse industry and pork producers, working hand-in-hand with the Obama
administration, to nullify a California law to stop cruelty to farm animals too
sick or injured to walk. There was widespread news coverage about the case, and
most reporters interpreted the reactions of the justices as favoring the
slaughterhouse industry and the Obama administration over the state of California
The HSUS
It’s
not the only legal forum where we are battling the pork industry. Last week,
The HSUS filed a complaint against Smithfield
Foodsfor claiming that it keeps pigs in an “ideal” environment where
their “every need is met,” and not surprisingly, it drew broad media attention and
outrage. Our 2010 undercover investigation revealed a very different story at a Smithfield
Since Smithfield is a top supplier of
pork to McDonald’s, we’re urging the fast food company to move away from
gestation crates in its supply line and urging Smithfield to make a specific
commitment to phase out this extreme confinement.
Many of you were upset by the Smithfield
It's painful looking at the pigs in
their gestation crates, with blood on the cement before their eyes. Without
using words the way we do, they're communicating their pain and agony. On the
opposite end of the spectrum, I walk into my barn and wrap my arms around Howard, my 500-pound pink pig,
sharing with him what the McDonald's pigs will never have. If a picture is
worth a thousand words, how else may I convey pigs feel like we do? —Deborah Gilson
