Eliminate cruel and abusive gestation crates from North Carolina slaughter houses by the end of the year in 2013.
Why is this important?
As documented by the humane society: “Most breeding pigs in the U.S. are confined in gestation crates for virtually their entire lives. For several years, they're confined to crates that nearly immobilize them, enduring a cycle of repeated impregnation. These individual cages are approximately 2 feet wide—so small the animals can't even turn around or take more than a step forward or backward.”
