A groundbreaking Mercy For Animals Canada undercover investigation provides a shocking look into blatant animal abuse at one of the nation's largest pork producers—Puratone—in Arborg, Manitoba.
At this pork supplier for some of Canada's largest grocery chains, including Sobeys, Superstore/ Loblaws, Metro, and Walmart, pregnant pigs and their piglets are forced to suffer brutal abuse and lives of unrelenting confinement and misery.
In late 2012, an MFA Canada investigator documented:
•Thousands of pregnant pigs confined to filthy, metal gestation crates so small they were unable to even turn around or lie down comfortably for nearly their entire lives
•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
•Pigs too sick to stand being kicked, slapped, and pulled by their ears to force them to walk
•Pigs having metal bolts fired into their skulls, leaving many still conscious and blinking
•Workers slamming piglets into the ground and leaving them to slowly suffer and die
•Workers cutting out testicles and slicing off the tails of fully conscious piglets without the use of any painkillers.
While many of the standard industry practices uncovered at this pig factory farm are needlessly cruel, subjecting animals to a lifetime of confinement in crates so small they are virtually immobilized is perhaps the worst form of institutionalized animal abuse in existence. A growing number of animal welfare experts oppose the use of gestation crates, concluding what common sense should have told us all along: animals with legs should have room to move.
MFA Canada is urging grocery giants Sobeys, Superstore/Loblaws, Metro, and Walmart Canada to adopt new animal welfare guidelines prohibiting their pork suppliers from confining pigs in crates so small they cannot even turn around.

As MFA Canada works to expose and end the exploitation of animals at the hands of the meat, egg, and dairy industries, consumers still hold the greatest power of all to prevent needless suffering of farmed animals by adopting a healthy and humane, vegetarian diet.
