Intensive Piggeries Appeal


A Sunday drive through the Darling Downs area and beyond for a nice picnic...sounds like fun. Did you drive far enough off the road to see the intensive factory farm sheds? Thousands of intelligent, social animals (pigs and chickens) sit, stand, lie and die in their own excrement, they endure close confinement in cages and metal pens and therefore suffer great boredom, mental & emotional stress. They are subjected to bodily mutilations and disease...just to provide the ham for the picnic sandwich.

Please help us in our work to ensure that basic welfare standards are met for these animals.

FACTS

 

  • More than 98% of pigs in Australia are reared in intensive shed conditions for their entire, unnaturally short lives.
  • Over 6 million pigs are slaughtered each year in Australia.
  • The standard pig farm will have breeding sows, piglets, weaner's being fed for slaughter and boars for breeding. There are about 500,000 breeding sows kept in close confinement in Australia.
  • Close confinement for a sow means being kept alone in a metal barred pen called a dry sow stall ( 0.6m X 2.0m) until she is ready to give birth (16 weeks). In this pen she cannot turn around. With difficulty she can take perhaps one step back or forwards. It is almost impossible for her to lie down without her legs extending into the next pen. Her head may even extend beyond the bottom bars of her pen.

We want basic welfare standards:

Farmed animals should have:

Freedom from:

  • Hunger and thirst
  • Discomfort
  • Pain, injury or disease
  • Fear and distress

Freedom to:

  • Express normal behaviours
