Companies Pledge to Go Gestation-Crate-Free
New supply policies stop cruel gestation crates for pigs
Most breeding pigs in the U.S. are confined in "gestation crates" for virtually their entire lives. While pregnant, they're confined to crates about two feet wide that nearly prevent them from moving. These intelligent and sensitive animals are so cramped that they can't turn around or take more than a step forward or backward, making their suffering among the worst of all factory-farmed animals.
The HSUS is persuading companies that deal in pork to get gestation crates out of their supply chains. The more companies that get on the right side of history—and the more individuals who pledge to help pigs—the more awareness will spread that this kind of confinement is unacceptably cruel.
