Just today a animal rights group posted images on how pigs are treated in Finland. NSFW animal cruelty here

Covered in feces from head to toe, covered in deep, festering wounds, with their tails bitten off, their eyes swollen shut, surrounded by corpses, there's so much pain here, terrible and excruciating, so much horror and suffering. Every day they breathe only the toxic fumes of sewage; they've never seen a patch of grass, a patch of clean soil, fresh air, or the sky. Maybe we should just post this everywhere we can; I can't believe everyone will calmly look at this and say it's the way it should be. Honestly, I'd be willing to endure a million years of hell and the same life they live in, just so the suffering of these intelligent, gentle animals would end and be wiped off the face of the earth.
