TransportPigs are generally given no food or water for the entire trip to the slaughterhouse, which often covers hundreds of miles. One former pig transporter told PETA that pigs are "packed in so tight, their guts actually pop out their butts—a little softball of guts actually comes out." The pigs are shipped through all weather extremes, and many collapse in the heat of summer or become frozen to the sides of the truck in the winter. One worker reports, "In the wintertime there are always hogs stuck to the sides and floors of the trucks. They [slaughterhouse workers] go in there with wires or knives and just cut or pry the hogs loose. The skin pulls right off. These hogs were alive when we did this." |
