Stop Animal Cruelty series on Supreme Master Television.
Many are
counting down the final days to the joyous holiday of Christmas and are
looking forward to reuniting with beloved family members. In these
celebratory times, please spare a thought for the neglected and
forgotten pigs locked away in dark, cramped, and disease-ridden factory
farms.
In this time of giving thanks to Jesus Christ for his
saintly life and his compassionate teachings, these beautiful and
loving beings truly need our help. Pigs are gentle and intelligent, the
smartest and cleanest of all domesticated animals. They are more
complex emotionally than many of us may realize and have a high-level
of awareness; studies have shown that they have characteristics once
believed to be unique only to humans and primates.
They have
the ability to understand words and phrases; they have dreams and form
sophisticated social relationships. Mother pigs have even been shown to
sing to their young during nursing.
Sadly, however, these
gentle beings, more emotionally and intellectually advanced than we
ever could imagine, are imprisoned in the hidden world of factory
farms, kept and bred solely for the purpose of food and profit. The
torturous conditions inside these operations are carefully guarded from
public scrutiny, a practice common to these murderous facilities the
world over.
Earlier this year a massive public outcry ensued
in New Zealand after Mike King, a comedian and former spokesperson for
the New Zealand pork industry, revealed on national television the
terrible and sorrowful confinement of sows, or mother pigs, in factory
farms.
Mike: Well, put
it this way: If these were dogs, if these were horses,if these were
sheep,if these were cows, if these were goats, these people would be in
jail.
Pigs are curious animals, they are loving animals, but
they’re all jumpy. This is disgusting! This should be illegal, and we
should outlaw it right now.
HOST: As the festive Christmas
holiday draws near it is more important than ever that all know of the
brutal truth about the anguish of pigs. Thus we present the following
excerpts from the documentary 『The Mother Cage,』 produced by the
non-profit British animal welfare group Vegetarians International Voice
for Animals
or Viva!『The Mother Cage』 introduces us to the lives
of mother pigs who spend the vast majority of their time in extremely
small and cruel farrowing crates. This heartless and inhumane
confinement and treatment of these beautiful beings occurs in pig farms
throughout the world and must be stopped now.
