This Sow is Protected

This Sow is Protected

The Kansas City Star has a video on their website, This Sow is Protected, which shows family farmer Scott Phillips inside his hog barns.

Phillips explains to viewers how his sows are protected from the weather and fighting, and emphasizes that each animal has adequate feed. The video shows Phillips inside one of the stalls used on his farm, and explains that if the sow was not in a stall designed like his, the sow could lay on her pigs, killing them. The inside of the barns were extremely clean, as were the pigs.

Please take a few minutes to watch this video and get a better idea of what the inside of a hog barn looks like. In California, voters are being asked to ban the use of stalls like the ones seen on this video. As you can see from watching this video, the animals are clean, content and comfortable.
