Shouting about the disgrace of our society. We need to face upto the fact that killing animals is just unacceptable. Do something worthwhile today. Be vegan.
I just had to share this.The smallest piglets of the litter are often held bt their legs and pounded against concrete infront of their helpless mothers. At what point do you stop and think ‘Hang On, maybe that’s not acceptable behaviour?’ Don’t be a part of it. But you love a bacon buttie? Grow Up.

PAC’ing is an industry term meaning Pounded Against Concrete. The piglet is grabbed by his or her hind legs and has their head smashed into the concrete. This is all done in front of the piglet’s helpless mother.
Because sows have been genetically selected to have unnaturally large litters, the 2 smallest (or “shakers” as industry calls them as they are unsteady on their feet) are PAC’ed.
This is disgusting

Hard to imagine how any human could do this

Many times the piglets don’t die, yet are thrown in the bin still-struggling and suffering. Rendering companies come by once a week to dump the bins to bring back to the rendering company. Sometimes the drivers discover the still-live piglets. It’s such a problem one rendering company in Ontario has had to install a camera in the bucket hooked up to a monitor in the cab so they can see the still-moving piglets and dispatch them. Letters were also sent by a rendering company to all Ontario Pork producers reminding them to please ensure the piglets were dead before throwing them in the bin. (The practice happens straight across Canada – not just in Ontario)
We know the problem is continuing though as we’ve seen heavy bruising on the heads of many piglets (bruising can only occur if the heart is still pumping blood to the surface).
But you can help! When driving in the countryside always stop if you see large bins at the end of lanes. Check inside to make sure all the piglets are dead.
And boycott all pork products until the industry changes its cruel ways.

Thank you everyone for expressing your outrage. We need to direct that outrage at the pig industry and pressure it to reform away from intensive livestock operations, back to group housing of sows on straw where piglets are cared for by their mothers not minimum-wage workers who PAC them.
I used to eat meat, wear leather and basically had the same contempt for animals which I see on a daily basis everywhere I look. I became a vegetarian after seeing newborn lambs prancing around and not wanting to be responsible for them being murdered. I became a vegan when I was thinking of breastfeeding my son and finally understood what the dairy industry is all about. What I know now, I did not know then. No longer living in ignorance, I have no option but to write this blog.
