The U.S. pork industry typically slaughters around 510,000 pigs daily for bacon, hams and sausage. Covid-19 outbreaks among plant workers have forced closures of facilities that typically process roughly one-fifth of the daily total, or 105,000 pigs a day, leading to a backup on farms and raising the prospect of having to euthanize them and then render...
Are we sure that pigs cannot be infected with the virus?
People who pay for the murder of animals are vile.
Disgusting. Give them away to non factory, small family farms.
💔💔
THIS IS OUTRAGOUS WHY CANT THEY BE PUT INTO SANCTUARIES NATIONWIDE IM SURE THERES PLENTY HUMANS WHO WOULD ACTUALLY ADOPT A FEW. I live in Scotland UK and I would gladly take a few. CANT THIS BE STOPPED?
STOP THE MADNESS! The processing corporations have crashed. CLOSE THE BORDERS to meat imports. Keep America's farmers in business and get our animals to our consumers!
Diabolical. Humans make me sad. vegan
THIS IS SO SAD i will literally take one and give them the best life ever
USDA Sec. Perdue continues to fail in protecting are meat supply after 3 wks of alerts that covid was threatening packing plants. All he has done was raise some money for ranchers and plant owners. Perdue has no plan of action, POTUS needs to replace him now!
Hmmmmm why can't they go to a sanctuary? HELLO!
Go vegan !
So instead of waiting some time to kill the poor souls they use the word 'euthanise' just to say they are going to kill them now...so fucking sad...such a waste of life 💔💔💔
OMG. This is heartbreaking. My family has been weaning itself of our reliance on animal products, I think this is enough to make it official that pork is forever off our menu.
Meanwhile they have been overproducing for years and continue to increase the sizes of their herds. Animal ag receives huge bailouts from the gov every year. Why are we rewarding their behavior? Our food system is broken
What is a joke? People even keeps fighting without plenty of food.
Just let em all run free
Capitalism is anti human, no bacon, blasphemy
The cost of combined WHO, China and world Politician stupidity in relation to COVID will be insurmountable...
Why not just donate the pigs to community organizations with kitchens or spits that can create meals to go?

Give them away, keep feeding them
Send them to China.
Let them go free
Spectacularly failed leadership on many levels. The waste of livestock and produce in this crisis is appalling.
$TSN $HRL Euthanizing pigs hogs bacon Animal rights groups, vegetarians, vegans etc are going to go ballistic ape💩 over this!!! Time to look into non-meat alternatives: beans, eggs...
BatScientist Pork should be banned. Pigs are extremely intelligent.
Although they were on their way to be slaughtered, can they not be kept and fed for a few weeks until the plant restarts? Mind boggling how fragile and wasteful this chain is.
oh heck, turn 'em loose in Texas !!!
Farmers have been burying produce crops.
Insane.
A wrong thinking(2) so all the bad leaders in the world are Chinese subordinates, Boris Johnson, Macron, Merkel, American Democratic Party, Taiwan Nationalist Party…… It ’s China that turns everything in the world into a drama. America is just resisting them alone!
A wrong thinking(1) Everyone believes that including war the world is controlled by brain control, believes that the US is controller. But the brain control’s nature is low, so the ruler of global brain control is China,
This capitalism thing is really not looking great
Fear mongers. FakeNews
We are going to have a major food shortage on our hands soon.
Sickening- let ppl adopt them
How is 'euthanizing' different from 'slaughtering'? These pigs were going to die. No? The difference here is whether they would serve some purpose by dying--namely feeding people. Not that it matters to the pigs. Just to expensive to keep alive. Ah, the great American food chain
The 'experts' who sit in meetings and follow models have ruined our economy and the lives of millions. In the meantime, those who work every day on the front line of health care tell it like it is:
Where did the outbreak come from? You don't say where it came from. Did it come from the pigs? If not, why should THEY die 'because of' it? If it came from the operators, why not euthanize THEM?
Reach out to every 4-H and FFA family and give those who want one a porker!
Wrong pigs.
Just the fact that they would even consider this has led me to decide never to eat pork again. Not even bacon.
Λυπάμαι πολυ
Noooooooo!
Poor pigs...just set them free! :)))
Let them pigs live.
Sell them as pets.
Stupid virus ruining our summer 😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠
Defining America, one wasteful act at a time.
OPEN THE DAMN PLANTS!
Excuse me, but what’s the difference to the pig?
Capitalism is so cruel. Damn,
pork COVID19 USSenate GOP Why not check with these towns to see if there are any butchers that can help, rather than wasting food when so many are dealing with foodinsecurity? Hello, covidtaskforce? Anybody there? 35 poorest towns in America
Why? What evidence is there that COVID lives in processed meat?
Send a few my way :-/
Let them move to vegi.
They buried chicks alive and now this? Someone has to do something, They are threatening our supply!
I’m pretty sure they’re still animals, and intelligent at that. Let them live.
Wtf? Why...
Send them to Iran!
Free the pigs
So sad. Happy to be a vegetarian and not be part of that insanity.
why do that? ...slaughter and cook under high heat! everyone in the medical profession underlined that heat destroys the virus; therefore, it would kill Covid19 CoronaVirus if it were to become infected.
Can’t butcher them, can’t let them run wild. 🤷🏽♂️
Why can’t these pigs be sold to smaller butchers for food banks to use. At least some revenue will be derived from this exchange. foodwaste foodshortage
Poor things, either way they lose.
That’s insanity
Deer meat is donated to the hungry during hunting season. Why would we waste food? when many could use it. Just hand them out with the tools to process on their own!
Why? Why not just feed em up and hang tight? There’s no reason to kill
Where’s all those people that want to go back to work so fast?
Il faut remettre les économies en route ! Ce n'est pas plus compliqué que ça !
99,6%of The genes are the Same. Covid19
Oh Wilbur.........
What the fuck. Poor animals 😭😭😭
Shut up.
Buy pasture fed, free range pork.
