No sad-bad pigs here. No vices, either.

Wilma:

When we cannot sniff and when we cannot cuddle, pigs begin to act weird.

People who run the factories say that pigs get “vices.”

Pigs bite each other’s tails.

Sows bang their crates until they bleed.

Pigs scream and scream and scream.

Our feet get sores, we cannot breathe fresh air.

 

Mona:

They say pig vices?

No. You cannot blame the pigs.

Factory vices.
