Echoing the kind of reasoning we’ve seen in Eating Animals, Bill Maher, in an Op Ed for the NYT, asks:
WOULD you cram a dog into a crate for her entire life, never letting her out, until you took her to the pound to kill her?
Of course you wouldn’t, and yet that’s effectively what happens to most mother pigs in this country. They spend their lives in what are called gestation crates, tiny stalls that house pregnant sows. They cannot even turn around, and are immobilized in these crates until they are taken to the slaughterhouse.
