THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS TO WALMART PORK BEFORE IT REACHES YOUR PLATE

Incidents of cruelty were filmed at Pipestone System’s Rosewood Farms in Pipestone, Minnesota earlier this year.

 

The hidden-camera footage appears to show pregnant pigs confined in tiny “gestation crates,” pigs being punched and abused, and piglets being thrown on their heads and mutilated without anesthetic.

 

“Pregnant pigs are confined in gestation crates, tiny metal crates that are just barely big enough to hold them,” he said of the factory farm. “They’re basically immobile for their entire lives. They can’t turn around, they can’t lie down comfortably, and they suffer from large open wounds and pressure sores from rubbing against the bars.”

 

Gestation crates — banned in the European Union and in nine U.S. states, including California, Colorado, Florida and Arizona — “one of the most cruel forms of institutionalized cruelty.”

 

Unlike more than 60 other major retailers banning pork products originating in farms using gestation crates, Walmart has not instituted such policy. 

 

Matt Rice, the director of investigations at Mercy for Animals, which created the video, told HuffPost the investigator spent 10 weeks posing as an employee at Rosewood Farms earlier this year.
