The justification for cruel and abhorrent farrowing crates is that they prevent sows from harming their piglets. But as the Ollerton 11 story shows, a mother pig’s instinct, when given the chance, is to protect her young, not harm them.
“There is no religion without love, and people may talk as much as they like about their religion, but if it does not teach them to be good and kind to other animals as well as humans, it is all a sham.” ~ Anna Sewell
