Forget bucolic childhood memories, it is above ground and industrial farm in question! "Progress" has been there. A holding empty at the moment, with cages and all new decking, feeders with electronic device to identify the pig eats, how he eats and how much to him reused, because it-it is a female - about 17 babies in the belly pigs *, identification with an RFID chip that stores all ** movement: in some places they had experienced a collar with integrated chip, but it was found that some malignant hungry, finding a a congener necklace dropped, picked it up and went to a ration reused to the detriment of the girlfriend in his crib, so the eye! None of that saucepan, over cheating with these chips implanted in the ear! The farmer found the parade, he is smarter than pigs, for now, a point across.
Inauguration and Open House visit a factory farm for 900 pregnant sows producing 22,000 pigs per year ( and tons of droppings causing blooms of green algae! ), all at the standard of new European Directive 91/360/CEE, directive applies to all farms at January 1, 2013. We went to see how it looks a farm under the new directive:
three chicks and two guys, real public danger! In any case, it is believed that the police who found us-es the briefing and we were asked to follow them: we were escorted to the exit-art and well ensured that we were leaving the theater Operations! What an honor for five animal rights activists! There is no laughing in the lobby of factory farming. I have a right almost every time: hope that during this time, there is no women in distress waiting for all their care? We
income-es through the same door in the afternoon, there were more police!
My purpose is not to bore my readers with technical detail and tedious European texts, I just want to raise consciousness (if indeed it is comprehensible without being there!) The reality of farming industrial, for just one example. For 900 sows is expected 3 boars said the farmer. They used to fry the heat after calving, they will never have the opportunity to approach them, you can imagine their frustration. Indeed, they will be artificially inseminated by a technician, stuck in a stall where they can not move for five days, the "time it takes." How do we know they are in heat? This is where the boars are involved: they are three in their stalls. At the height of the snout of the female, there is a cylindrical hole of 20 cm letting the smell of the male, so they come to turn upon the resumption of estrus (now in 2013, they will be conducted in groups, désincarcérées stall imprisoning them for life so far-a victory for animal rights) to stall the males. Above the cylinder, there is a chip reader (RFID **, remember) that will identify and count the sow its passages and its time to stall before the males. After 3 passages and / or 14 minutes of parking, the machine sends a stream of paint on the snout, spray paint that will enable the farmer or technician to locate the breeding and artificially inseminated himself with straws of semen-see above .
No right to chabadabada, chabadabada then? It is not possible in factory farms: Wait feelings, it wastes time, exactly. And time is money as my banker. The animal
denied in its social and behavioral needs, locked in a livestock concentration will live a life of litters (2.8 per year), nursing of 21 days and re-inseminations, and After three years, provided that it "cooperates" to "taking" without hesitation inseminations, we will reform it in technolect, send it to the slaughterhouse in the common language. The piglets are weaned 21 days and brutally taken from their mother, they go for fattening in farms on industrial grating also producing "pigs" slaughtered them by the age of 4 to 6 months is to be very young! These are our rules for the animal park .
* In a normal breeding, they would have between 7 and 10 grandchildren they have 12 nipples, 6 on each side, but in a soilless farming with ovarian stimulation, they can put down 17 to 21 tiny piglets cause losses: they are very young and some die in the day because they are barely viable. **

I leave the conclusion to Elizabeth de Fontenay mentioning that Jacques Derrida, a philosopher who recalls "a annihilation of the species is at work. Without taking into account the silence of the beasts, paths humanism of nowhere. "
