Giving hugs where they're needed... and getting downvoted for it.

It cost about $500 to adopt a pet from a shelter here in California. It's not a small fee, but will still be cheaper than pet store prices.

Which is where quality breeders come into play. You don't get a seeing eye dog or field dog from a pet store. Lol

Also, they are damn intelligent. They act just like a dog. And if you don't know that, then you've obviously never been around them.

Ha! Grew up around them from 6-17. Everyone knows pigs are fat and stubborn, so no need to tell me. Doesn't, make them bad parents, at all.

It's definitely an issue of space if it happens so often that they have to use gestation crates. Look at how tiny those commercial pens are.

It may happen from time to time, as it does with all animals (we even had a dog do that). But pigs are very conscious of their babies.

Sows don't crush their piglets when they're given adequate room to move around. They're quite aware of their surroundings.

Then put them in a larger enclosure where they can actually avoid laying on their babies?

You need to volunteer at a nursing home. A lot of them don't even do activities, so this group is fortunate enough to even have this.

Justify? You know there are some amazing vegan athletes who have incredible strength, muscle, stamina. I think vegan protein works just fine

Breast milk is consensual, resourceful, and humane, unlike milk from moo cows and other farm animals. A lot of vegan mother prefer it. :)

You're confused, my dear. Very confused. I've never heard of a vegan giving that reason for their diet and I'm sure you haven't either.

I'm going to bet have no idea what the UN does or even is or how involved they are in all aspects of humanity, environment and science.
