A strange and cruel tale of little ones being mistreated is sure to catch the attention of the public. So it did with this true horror story: It has come to our attention that in Denmark 25,000 newborn piglets die from e special kind of neglect: They are surplus additions to the litter of the sow.
A pig has a certain number of teats. Preferably she doesn't have a bigger litter than the number of teats she has to offer her babies. However, the economics of farmers make them chose to have bigger litters than Mother Nature found good for the piglets. At the same time these farmers never took responsibility to feed the surplus piglets. That means that the weaker one - who never should have been born - die from neglect and hunger.
The number 25,000 is a crazy truth in a mad world and I'm shocked to think of these poor, innocent animals dying from hunger ....
