| Description |
An MFA investigator documented horrific animal abuse at this major Walmart pork supplier owned by Randy Spronk, the president of the National Pork Producers Council. During the investigation, workers were seen violently slamming conscious piglets headfirst against the ground, ripping off their tails and testicles without painkillers, hitting, throwing, and dropping pigs and piglets, and confining pregnant pigs in filthy, fly-infested gestation crates barely larger than their own bodies for nearly their entire lives. While this type of animal abuse outrages most Americans, it is considered standard practice and defended by the pork industry. Mainstream media coverage of the investigation in Minneapolis Star Tribune, Arkansas Times, the Huffington Post and more depicted practices that Walmart calls "unacceptable" and prompted thousands of people to sign the petition calling on Walmart to ditch cruel gestation crates. |
