Why you should consider not eating pork

If the pigs have had enough space they need, they would not have to soil the places where they sleep and eat, but on industrial farms the pigs have no choice but to live in their own excreta, urine and vomit. For this reason, many (about a quarter) of pigs suffer from scabies, an extremely irritating painful rash that does not go away.

Unfortunately, because of these conditions, pigs are forced to inhale toxic gases such as ammonia from urine and faeces, this gas irritates the lungs of animals to the point where more than 80% of the pigs bred thus suffer pneumonia at the time of slaughter.

The horrors that these creatures have to endure in industrial farms are even worse, and what has been mentioned here is only part of what is really happening behind the closed doors.

What can you do?
If you insist on eating pork, do it sparingly, and if you can, make sure it is bred without the use of antibiotics, hormones and other chemicals, that it has been bred in grazing and fed on a healthy diet. You have the right to choose, so choose wisely. Every day, you make a choice of what you put on your fork.
