They say that pigs have a mindset of a three year old kid. In a video that I saw, there was a pig what was pregnant. She was locked up in a very small crate that she was not even able to turn around, factory farms convicts them for a lifetime in those crates. Imagine living in those crates day after day, days full of lasting bored, depression, and stress.

After giving birth, still trapped in a small crate she is not able to extend out to her new born babies to protect them. These new born baby piglets without any pain relievers will have their teeth cut off with a set of pliers, and have their little tails cut off. For the male piglets they are castrated.
