A pregnant sow is kept in a narrow stall on aconcrete floor. She can only stand up or lie down.

Out of frustration, she will repeatedly bite at themetal bars around her. This severe confinement

can lead to abnormal behaviour, leg weaknessand health problems.

In New Zealand approximately 22,000 sows willsuffer in stalls.

Sow stalls are banned in the United Kingdom and Swedenand will soon be phased out in Finland, Switzerland, theNetherlands and Denmark.


Love Pigs, not Pork!

SOW STALL CRUELTY


4/5

Separated from their mothers, piglets spend theirshort lives crammed inside dark, overcrowdedpens.

They are unable to roam, dig or play. Stress causes

the piglets to bite each others tails.

To combat this, farmers cut off the piglets tails intheir first week of life, instead of providing theanimals with more space.

Around 800,000 pigs are farmed and slaughtered each yearin New Zealand.
