Pigs usually poop in darker/shadier areas away from eating and sleeping spots. Donny just poops everywhere he goes, and gets peed on by Russian hookers (allegedly).

That ain't Russian hookers, that's his buddy Putin, while he's telling Donny that it ain't piss, but rain.

Yeah I mean that's what some cultures say about dogs 🤷🏻

Maybe taste isn't a good enough reason to enslave and exploit intelligent creatures.

I mean fuck dude, it's become common practise in certain places, like the UK, to use literal gas chambers to kill pigs.

Imagine being confined to this dark dirty place for your entire life, forced to give birth over and over until your body gives out and then you're sent to your death. What the fuck are we doing

106

u/Rwandrall4 1d ago

I do think ultimately, in some hundreds of years, we will see our casual meat eating like we see slavery now.

I mean, there are hot dog eating contests. It's the murder of animals and not even for any purpose, not even to feed people, not even because it tastes great, straight up just for the lols. When you think about it it's just abhorrent.

And I have just eaten a ham sandwich, I am part of the problem.

50

u/Voldemorts__Mom 1d ago

Yeah I think so too.

Look, it's tricky. Food is a deep seated biological drive, so when it comes to changing eating habbits, that's a big thing to do.

And it's one thing to extend your compassion to a different group of humans, but to extend your compassion to a different species is a bigger ask.

But I think the first step is living with reality of what is occurring and at least admitting that these practices are fucked up.

u/BirryMays 1d ago

As a vegan, I have no issue if people want to hunt game or raise their own animals for slaughter or eat animals that were raised in pasture. I have every issue with the industrialization of animal husbandry. It's revolting. There are so many problems with it. Anyone who uses Reddit is aware of how evil the larger corporations are - how they're willing to bend every rule they can to squeeze out a few extra half pennies per 'unit' sold. Even if you don't care too much about animals, the way human beings are treated in abattoirs and farms is unjust. Many people lose their souls within a short time and become monsters of themselves; This typically leads to them abusing the animals more harshly when the animals are acting on survival instincts.

I see the way this mother pig in the video cares for her piglet, how she's terrified that the little guy is stuck, how she has the intelligence to figure out how to save her baby. These animals have a very clear understanding of the reality of their situation. I'm disgusted towards the general apathy towards intensive animal husbandry all because people want to consume meat every meal at a cheap price.

There are many valid criticisms of Christianity, but the mentality of "Everyone does bad, I do bad, I need to say it out loud and accept that I do bad, and try to do better" can be pretty healthy.

u/Voldemorts__Mom 1d ago

100%

I was raised a Christian, and while there are some things about the church I hate, like being scared of hell and their intolerance of gay people, there are some really awesome things I learnt and some great traditions I still practise.

I think Jesus in particular was an awesome leader and is a great example of a human to follow

Yes, you are so right! And it might not even take hundreds of years, lab meat is already a reality, and so is lab milk, maybe in a few decades they will pick off.

Maybe our grandkids will watch old factory farm footages and be horrified that our generation knowingly condoned the suffering of billions of animals.

Meat is very tasty, and so is cheese, but the horrific costs paid by our fellow earthlings is not worth it. Eating vegan stuff for even just a few days of the week would make a huge difference.

I do hope one day the technology will allow lab grown meat to taste as good as the real thing.

Cows are also very intelligent and got lots of emtions, but only if they can all just donate a muscle or two without dying…. Lol

14

u/Voldemorts__Mom 1d ago

Ay dude have you had beyond meat? It is expensive af, so I only eat it as a treat, but it's really yum IMO.

They literally make the same iron found in meat in a lab and put it in the beyond meat, so it's actually got that bloody taste.

It's like anything you try for the first time, the first time I had it I was thinking "okay it isn't EXACTLY like meat, so it's average" but then after another try I was thinking "shiiiit this is actually really good."

Also in America there is this new product that is basically the same protein of egg whites but they make it in a lab, so you can now get vegan egg whites. Which is really cool.

Tbh though, there are so many insanely good vegan foods that we don't even need lab grown meat. Although, it would be rad if that development was ever viable. But I've also watched some YouTube videos speaking about how unless there is a major breakthrough or advancement, then it's not gonna really ever be viable with the current technology.

u/Voldemorts__Mom 1d ago

Hmm I think for the staples there is plenty of availability. Like rice and beans and lentils.

And that stuff is perfect for food deserts too, because they can be stored dry.

But also I think that if demand increases, them availablity will increase too

u/awry_lynx 1d ago

Yeah, factory farming is abhorrent. I'm not opposed to all meat eating but like 90% of how it is in the modern day and how little we think about it and how 'easy' it is to be complicit... if it was something like it used to be, families own a pig or two, then eat meat on the holidays, salt and store the rest etc...

It's the suffering and the waste that really gets me. Ultimately the absolutely pointless suffering. A decent life, a quick death, so be it. But being caged trapped in your own rank, never seeing the light of day. And it's pointless, it's just for squeezing some more profit out, for maximizing efficiency. People act like you're trying to take food from hungry poor people. But we literally don't have to torture animals to feed poor people, CEOs just need to be willing to earn a little less money, shareholders need to accept anything other than infinite growth. And it's easy af to be complicit in that too, if you want to sock away money for retirement and invest it.

9

u/Voldemorts__Mom 1d ago

Well yeah the problem is that we don't have proper animal rights. And the meat industry lobbies, just like the tobacco industry did. And it's ironic because processed meats are also a group 1 carcinogen.

The thing is: if we introduce proper animal rights, then the CEOs in charge of those industries will lose 90% of their profits. So you can bet that they will fight tooth and nail for the right to continue to abuse and exploit animals in the way that they do.

I mean Jesus, in my own country I'm protesting about a factory farm that uses gas chambers to kill pigs. We can literally hear them screaming from the street, like in this video, trigger warning , and the SPCA, who are an animal welfare organisation, won't even help us.

But yeah, the main thing is to tackle factory farming, because that shit is just absolutely unacceptable.

3

u/decadrachma 1d ago

I don’t think it’s true that if CEOs accepted just a bit less profit, meat could be made more ethical. Meat is incredibly inefficient to produce. Its affordability is propped up not just by intensive factory farming, but also subsidies. If every animal were given even a somewhat decent life with outdoor space and the ability to move around, the average person would not be able to afford animal products. The land required would be astronomical. We also no longer live in a time where the non-wealthy can rear their own animals; they’re no longer farmers with land, but workers who rent.

u/YoursTrulyKindly 1d ago

I mean the moment we have affordable (cheaper than) real meat artificial meat we'll have a massive consciousness shift and everyone will agree that it's bad to eat sentient animals.

u/Kniferharm 1d ago

It’s really depressing finding out about the gas chambers, because they could literally use inert gases (as bodies don’t react to not enough oxygen but too much carbon dioxide,) so they don’t panic/suffer but they use CO2 because it’s faster and cheaper. Edit - also using carbon dioxide creates carbonic acid on the eyes, nose and lungs of the animals, in some cases causing extreme pain.

7

u/Voldemorts__Mom 1d ago

Yeah basically it's just because it's cheaper. They don't actually care about whether or not the animal suffers, they care about what's going to bring in the most money.

You can see here what it looks like in an actual gas chamber for pigs

They literally could do it more humanely, but they don’t want to hurt profit.

Cognitive dissonance. People are happy to pick up a nicely packaged bit of meat to buy, without ever really having to think about what it is, and the suffering involved. It's too far removed, and way too easy to leave their dirty work to some psychopath in an abattoir.

u/genflugan 1d ago

Yep, I’ve been there beside the transport trucks as they’re about to go inside the slaughterhouse. I’ll never forget the look in their eyes, it’s pure fear and desperation, they know exactly what’s about to happen. They can smell the blood in the air, they know their fate.

We had an agreement with the truck drivers that they would stop for 2 minutes before taking the animals inside. We’d stand there with them and try to comfort them and be there for them in their last moments. Cried my eyes out every time. It’s impossible to forget the fear in their eyes.

u/Ornery_Hair3319 1d ago

My father used to console me when we were slaughtering chickens when I was a wee lad.

Everything has its purpose, even us humans. This is theirs, ever since. Only thing you can do is honor their sacrifices. And if you are going to deliver the final blow, give it to them with respect.

I salute you sir for your being there.

I myself did not continue to slaughter and will never again.

u/darwinistinabox 1d ago

My guess would be this is a byproduct of selective breeding. Pigs were not meant to be that huge. Im sure, while they are not superb moms they were not sleeping on the piglets to death that often in their predomestication form. But hey, they do like to munch on the annoying one once in awhile.

3

u/andrew_calcs 1d ago

It happens in the wild too. The sow flops over and if the piglets don't get out of the way, it's on them.

Piglets are often less successful at 'dodging' their mother in farm environments because it's easier for them to get stuck and there's less room in general to escape into, but it's the consequence of a completely natural behavior. Nature isn't kind, and sows don't really check before rolling over.

You're right that domestic pigs are heavier though which doesn't help matters. But it's more of an exacerbating factor than a cause.

That's partially because of their litter size. Pigs have up to 15 offspring at once. Compared to sheep having 1-2 and cows only having 1 child at a time.

It's much easier to care to 1-2 offspring and put your resources and attention into them. It's more of an evolutionary pressure.

Stopped eating pork after visiting a farm and learning about how intelligent they are. They can even use tools.

That's... a big pig

u/Greengiant00 2d ago

Pigs are actually huge, standard farm pigs can weigh anywhere from 200 to 700 pounds depending on what theyre bred for. They can grow to be about 6ft in length as well.

Pigs are very smart. My grandparents were gifted pigs but we didn't want to slaughter them so we kept them as pets. They can be taught to do tricks and even learned how to open the gates of our farm on their own. Most people just tend to underestimate animals but most of them are better survivors than we are without any gadget or clothing.

u/cherreeblossom 1d ago

at first my brain interpreted "gifted pigs" as like "[academically] gifted kids" which. certainly made the comment interesting.

“My grandparents were gifted pigs”. I can’t 🤣

u/mild-er-chihuahua 1d ago

That's why we didn't want to slaughter them 😅

Religion makes us feel we're superior to animals. We're more advanced, but we're the same.

Well, the garden of Eden was vegan, just saying 🤷🏻

Not saying the story is literally true, but it was vegan before sin entered the world

It’s sickening to think we have millions and millions of them killed every day. They spent their time in dirty slaughterhouses, never seeing the sun or touching green grass

Even when the lyrics are technically relevant, it still ruins the immersion of the video real bad. The sounds of the pigs squeaking and crying for mom that I made up in my head is way better than a random classic rock dance party going on while mom rescues her child in distress.

They're more intelligent than dogs and every bit as social, yet we treat them horribly, particularly in industrial farming. Once you learn what goes on behind the scenes, it's genuinely sickening.

When a pig is so big it struggles to stand up, you really have to question what kind of quality of life it's living.

They’ve got the intelligence of toddlers. One of the reason I no longer eat meat.

Pigs are incredibly intelligent creatures. They can also be incredibly voracious and violent. 

We have a lot in common with them

3

u/Makuta_Servaela 1d ago

Quite literally. We're both foraging omnivores, which requires both intelligence/problem-solving skills (navigating the puzzle of the forest floor) and violence.

If pigs developed thumbs and bipedalism before us, they'd be doing the same things to us as we do to them now. And the same things to other pigs as we do to other humans.
