Not Hard to Recognize Animal Suffering
A veterinary spokesman for the National Pork Board says we aren’t Doctor Dolittles, implying that we can’t know whether pigs are happy living in crates like metal coffins hardly larger than their bodies (“Lawsuit Targets Farm’s Treatment of Sows,” June 14).
Pigs are significantly smarter than dogs. I hope Times readers will imagine their dogs living like that, will take the pork industry’s self-serving claim with a mountain of salt and will think about what they support anytime they order a BLT.
