Pictures of Animal Cruelty

Animal Rights wants to take your pets away from you today, and forever.  Don't let this happen to you!!!!

Animal Rights activists are a group of individuals such as the most commonly known PETA which stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.  These organaztions are hoping that all of society becomes vegan and lets animals roam free to do as they please.  This includes what you may consider your pet. 

Animal welfare activists are a group of individuals such as the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) that wishes to preserve animals for humans in any form or fashion as long as it is not cruel to the animal.  Therefore, Animal rights will put meats on your table, and keep your dog, cat, or pet in your possession.

IS this CRUEL or Safe?

To animal rights this is cruel, and To animal welfare this is keeping the pigs safe.

Animal Welfare says that this picture is protecting a pig because pigs are natural cannibals and will eat thier own young if they taste blood.  This also applies to the piglets as the babies will bite the sow (mother) and draw blood, so these measures are taken to allow just enough room for the piglets to nurse, and just enough room for the sow to stand up and eat, and drink. 
 
Animal Rights says this is absurd and that a pig should not be kept in such a confined space just so it can have babies.  Their argument is what if the pig does not want to be in such a confined space.  Because we are human we are superior to animals is why they are kept in confinement according to animal rights activists.
