Coronavirus puts U.S. pork industry in crisis mode with some farmers euthanizing piglets

A dedicated network of volunteers at nonprofits, churches and shelters is trying to keep Los Angeles’ homeless communities fed during the global coronavirus outbreak.

“Producers are on pins and needles every day right now, and nobody knows if they’re going to get loads out. They get loads scheduled, then they get canceled. It’s kind of a roller coaster of emotion for producers right now,” Paustian said. For many pork producers, the COVID-19 pandemic may be the final straw, said Nick Giordano, a vice president at the National Pork Producers Council.“We are hearing from lots of producers. They’re hanging on for dear life,” Giordano said.

The American pigsty is cleaner than the space near houses in Russia in the spring. Dogs are pigs? No way! Their owners are.

Hey, can you do this by looking into those eyes? It came out to meet you.

EstherThePig 'Coronavirus puts U.S. pork industry in crisis mode with some farmers euthanizing piglets' Poor things. The word 'euthanizing' sounds so much better than 'KILLING.' Breaks my heart.

Euthanizing meaning smashing their heads against concrete or by lethal injection like unwanted dogs?

EstherThePig 'Euthanize' in this case is not like taking your dog to the vet & holding him as he takes his last breath. This is most likely a violent, painful event, including slamming their heads or other vile - yet legal - actions. Don't sugarcoat the horror of this industry.

Why are they doing that

EstherThePig Why can’t they give them to rescue sanctuaries.

Why not donate?

That’s horrible but painless euthanasia at factory farms where pigs know only a hellacious existence is probably merciful.

All Thanks to the Chinese Communist Party CCP

Boeing got its bailout but the truly essential industries are left out in the cold. Why wouldn't the government buy and distribute pork instead of passing pork?
