This is a supplier for many of Canada's largest grocery chains, including Sobeys, Superstore/Loblaws, Metro, and Walmart. It In it we see pregnant pigs and their piglets are forced to suffer brutal abuse and lives of unrelenting confinement and misery.
In late 2012, an Mercy For Animals investigator documented:
Thousands of pregnant pigs confined to filthy, metal gestation crates so small the animals were unable to even turn around or lie down comfortably for nearly their entire lives
Workers firing metal bolts into the skulls of pigs, leaving many still conscious and blinking
Pigs suffering from large, open wounds and pressure sores from rubbing against the bars of their tiny cages or lying on the hard concrete flooring
Pregnant pigs—physically taxed from constant birthing—suffering from distended, inflamed, and bleeding prolapses
Workers slamming piglets into the ground and leaving them to slowly suffer and die
Pigs too sick to stand being kicked, slapped, and pulled by their ears to force them to walk
Workers cutting out testicles and slicing off the tails of fully conscious piglets without the use of any painkillers
