Dear John,
Mercy For Animals just released some of the most horrific animal cruelty footage ever made public.
Taken at a massive pig farm in Nebraska and featured in the New York Times, the undercover footage reveals pigs being driven mad by boredom and stress.
Our investigator documented pregnant pigs confined to filthy, cramped gestation crates. These metal cages are barely larger than a pig's body, so small the animals can't lie down comfortably or turn around.
Deprived of mental and social stimulation, these pigs experience depression-like states.
Our undercover investigator Alex documented pigs repeatedly swaying, nodding their heads, and biting the bars of their cages—signs of serious mental collapse. Many suffered bloody wounds from the cage bars.
