    As of right now - 124,061,094 pigs have been killed in the US already this year


    Mother pigs and babies are kept in a narrow crate preventing the mother from moving around.

    10-18% of piglets who are born alive won’t make it until weaning age, succumbing to disease, starvation or dehydration, or being accidentally crushed by their trapped mothers.

    Runts of the litter, who are considered economically unviable, are killed - often by blunt trauma to the head.

    Piglets who survive the first few days of their life are mutilated without pain relief:

    • their tails and teeth cut to reduce cannibalism
    • pieces cut from their ears or tags punched through for identification

    As they age, piglets are moved into grower pens, crowded together in their own waste.

    Most pigs are killed at 5-6 months old

    When transported to the slaughterhouse, pigs are without food, water or protection from extreme heat or cold.

    At the slaughterhouse they’ll wait in small concrete or metal holding pens, typically overnight, still without food and with limited or no access to water.

    In the last moments of their lives, they'll be herded by electric prodder and force to their death.
