[QUOTE="snaphappy, post: 294208, member: 12198"] Yes Wud the commercial farming industry makes me cringe the more I learn the sadder and more horrified I am. Watching the little girl pass was horrible and I'd have liked to put her out of her misery immediately. However, if she'd stayed at the commercial industry she would have stayed jammed in a building until she went to abattoir or if chosen to be bred she'd have spent 4yrs in a metal crate that she could never turn around in :( Hamlet is a market pig and will be sold at 4-H auction but at least the days of his life will be healthy and given the best life and experience we can give him. I'm not sure how we can expect to be healthy when the food we eat from mass commercial farming is done in the most unhealthy and horrid conditions. I am a terrible farmer. Hamlet is the greatest personality loves to play, happily greets me, follows me around and when I stop flops down on my boots so I will scratch his side and plays dead piggy while he lays in bliss enjoying the rub LOL He is just like a very mellow well behaved puppy but he's bathroom trained himself :) Occasionally he goes all nuts running jumping spinning around and loves to play fetch or push/kick the ball around. 4-H Fair followed by market is going to be rough for me [/QUOTE]
