Fox News: The video starts by showing CVFF employees picking up baby pigs by their ears and hind legs and throwing them between employees. **** Comments by Viewers: ***** So you have spent your entire life in the city where you go to the grocery store to pick up your pork roast or ribeye. If that is the closest you have been to a pig or a steer, if you have never worked on a feedlot or a farm, this may look mean to you. I saw the video and I would have expected this report from PETA, not FOX!! Do you expect those workers to pet the pigs and walk them on a leash? This is a business. It may not be pretty but these are animals that are bred to be killed. The treatment that I saw was not that extreme. Picking a piglet up by the ear does not harm them. Nor does picking them up by the leg. If you need something to report about, try asking Barry why he refuses to produce his birth certificate. Why was the young man who looked at his passport records killed? I havent heard anything about that in the press. Is it because the arabs that own 15% of FOX stock does not want you to do any digging into Barrys past? ****** Ummmm.yeah.lets be sure to treat these animals nice and lovingly.before we slaughter and eat them! REALLY.theres NOTHING more important we could be spending our time fretting over?! If this WERE the worst thing happening in the world, Id line up and demand that my ham be more lovingly cared for, but until that time, lets focus on a few MINOR issues: 1 our troops being caught up in TWO POINTLESS WARS! 2 Our President marching our country towards socialism. 3 our rights being pilfered away while we watch Dancing with the Starsand pig cruelty videos. etc. Im just sayin.. **** It is sad, but it must be kept in context — these people do this on a daily basis, the animals are put out of misery quickly — please, lets not start humanizing farm animals. Im more concerned with the well-being and mental state of the workers — they must become desensitized to the suffering of the animals and that can turn into cruelty toward people. But there is no getting around the fact that the animals need to be processed — what should the workers do? cuddle them? talk sweet to them? and then gas them? geesh, people! its a farm! it was unpleasant for the pigs, yes, but they arent there to be happy. I know a chicken farmer and it was tough to imagine what his chickens went through, crowded together and fighting for their lives — but I also care about the famers and the living they need to make. The animals are put out of their misery quickly — The farming industry has changed farmers subcontract with name-brand companies and quantity becomes as important as quality — this is the what the market demands of them, otherwise they will not survive. Many farmers inherit family farms and this is just an adaptation for them, to deal with the product quickly and coldly. Seems cruel to us, but someone has to provide this service, lest we all become vegetarians. I think we can find much worse cruelty toward animals and people in our own neighborhoods! I say support farmers and workers first, then worry about the animals another day. The last thing we need right now is a crack-down on farming that results in more job losses!! **** throwing them like footballs That would only be wrong if they were spiking them at the end of the toss .I didnt see any dropped. I have been in the business of animal husbandry for 50 years,and I dont see the abuse here. The owner is absoutly correct when he says that he must take care of these animals because he cant lose many before the profit dies off. True abuse is the stacking of people in buildings 20 stories high,charging them $2,000 per month for a one room apartment ,and raising them as a bunch of neurotic ,politically correct ,candy pants . Go figure .
