Farrowing pens are being phased out by other farms that recognize they are not necessary, and there are less cruel ways of killing nonviable piglets and performing minor surgeryFarrowing pens are being phased out by legislation pushed by people with no animal husbandry knowledge and the desire to eliminate all use of domestic animals.

I too grew up on a farm and have raised pigs.
This thread is another variation on several recurrent animal abuse threads here that show certain Freepers routinely confuse conservatism with a callous, unChristian defense of brutality.
They confuse dominion with domination.

So you now know what happens to many piglets if they are not protected and it is “humane” to let that happen? Alrighty then! Some of us live in the real world and some of us don't!

Look, don't get me wrong. The meat from animals that have been tortured is sooooo good. I don't *like* torturing the cute little animals. But it's the only way to get succulent, tasty Pain Meat.
Ah, who are we kiddin'. I *love* torturing the animals. Particularly the rabbits.

Yeah its Neanderthals (plural, not Neanderthals = possessive) like me who put their lives on the line so you can sit on your couch and stuff cupcakes down your pie hole. What does that have to do with pig slaughter?
Are you an Alinsky Disciple™? One of their tactics is change the subject to deflect away from the original point when they don't have credible rebuttal.
I have another question. Is is it wrong to assume "...like me who put their lives on the line so you can..." is letting a little Narcissism creep out?
And for the record, I stuffed one cupcake (singular) down my pie hole, not cupcakes (plural).
But let me be the first to salute you for putting your life on the line as a Grammar Cop on the lookout for those that can't spail, as one example.

We dont really get the whole story in these pictures.We do get the whole picture when they're videotaping the caretakers grabbing piglets by the feet and slamming them repeatedly into a concrete floor, then tossing the bleeding piglets into a squirming pile to die from blunt force trauma.
Why do I think so?
Because Christensen Farms issued a response to the video. Of all the practices in the video, CF announced they've stopped "blunt force trauma euthanasia" (while saying, essentially, "not that there was anything wrong with that"), and will be substituting "euthanasia using carbon dioxide to prevent the suffering of sick or injured piglets."
I understand tail docking, gestational stalls, and the like - but watching the repeated slamming of piglets onto the concrete floor did nothing but remind me of Michael Vick body-slamming his fighting docks to the ground to kill them.
We're above that.

Bob Barker is an animal rightist of the 1st degree. As a Vet Tech, I can promise that a baby pig begins screaming at the highest decibels as soon as you merely pick it up.
Puppies’ tails are docked without anesthesia. Baby boy HUMANS are circumcised without pain meds (at least that was the case for most of history).
I don’t like the fact that there were piglets with sores. But, sadly, consumers will scream louder than any piglet at the confiscatory prices it would take to have veterinary care of food animals, so they’re destroyed. That’s life.

You need to study logic, a correlation isn't causation.

No use wasting words on these guys.
They think being 'conservative' means to be callous, it shows how 'tough' you are.

I remember growing up, we had 4-H Clubs, were kids could get exposed to the basics of farming and agriculture. Do they even have those anymore? They sure do - and they also have a 4-H club for shooting - my 14yo daughter has belonged to that since she was 10.

I’ve raised pigs and they are very intelligent, including with their ability to bond with humans.
