I’m constantly surprised at the general public’s ignorance of the conditions of farming and simultaneous confidence that vegans are extremist loons.

Does no one remember Mad Cow disease? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!

I am constantly amazed at how little people remember of even very recent history

Bush banned testing for mad cow disease in the US because he didn’t want the panic. The American public was widely gaslit about it. You’re the person that didn’t take the crazy pills

Pigs will eat anything, including each other and humans, if given the chance. Still shouldn’t be helping them in this endeavour
The title of this article is actually underselling it. They specifically give them disease-infected piglets and their feces
Employees can be seen removing the intestines of dead, disease-infected piglets and mixing them with piglet feces in a blender — a mixture to be fed to the adult breeding pigs — causing one worker to gag.
The practice, called “feedback,” is common in the pork business (or “controlled oral exposure” in industry jargon). The slurry of pig poop and parts is often fed to new female breeding pigs

I know some people who were gang bangers back in the crack epidemic and the race wars between Latinos and blacks. One of the guys in their gang seemingly left the street life behind to become a pig farmer. In reality he was giving his gang brothers a place to dispose of corpses.
