I’m constantly surprised at the general public’s ignorance of the conditions of farming and simultaneous confidence that vegans are extremist loons.
Do you want transmissible spongiform encephalopathies? Because that’s how you get transmissible spongiform encephalopathies.
Does no one remember Mad Cow disease? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!
Bush banned testing for mad cow disease in the US because he didn’t want the panic. The American public was widely gaslit about it. You’re the person that didn’t take the crazy pills
I am constantly amazed at how little people remember of even very recent history
Isn’t it prionic
Don’tcha think
Pigs can’t get mad cow disease
sounds like there’s good profit to be made before we get to that point
Pigs will eat anything, including each other and humans, if given the chance. Still shouldn’t be helping them in this endeavour
The title of this article is actually underselling it. They specifically give them disease-infected piglets and their feces
Employees can be seen removing the intestines of dead, disease-infected piglets and mixing them with piglet feces in a blender — a mixture to be fed to the adult breeding pigs — causing one worker to gag.
The practice, called “feedback,” is common in the pork business (or “controlled oral exposure” in industry jargon). The slurry of pig poop and parts is often fed to new female breeding pigs
So this is what they mean by “natural”…
