*[Enwl-eng] Demand justice for pigs killed inhumanely and thrown away like trash

[ENWLine]

Farmers are shooting and gassing their pigs and throwing them away because of slowed production caused by COVID-19 Sign Now Meat plants have never been known for their humane treatment of animals. They do the bare minimum the law requires of them and often not even that, which we know because activists frequently expose animal abuse in these facilities. But now there is a new problem: there have been so many coronavirus outbreaks at meat plants that many have had to close. While factories are shut down, animals destined for slaughter are "sitting idle" — not making the farmers any money, but still requiring care. Their solution? Farmers are now gassing and shooting their pigs and then discarding them, not even sending them to feed families. No animal deserves to die like this, especially if it's not even going to feed a human. Stores and restaurants across the country are facing meat shortages while these massive pigs are being slaughtered and thrown away like trash, with even their deaths being completely in vain. The truth is: everything in our way of life is changing rapidly during this pandemic and that makes this a great time to reimagine what a more ethical and humane future could look like. Please join us in calling for justice for these sweet pigs that never deserved any of this. Thank you,   Kelsey B. The Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Pigs are being killed and then thrown away like trash.
