Nick Cooney's Presentation

Overall, Nick Cooney's Presentation was very interesting and informative about factory farming especially the section about the sows and the gestation crates. The gestation crates are small cages where the sows are kept during pregnancy. The sows live most of their lives being pregnant which weakens their body. To add to the pain, the sows are not mobile therefore their legs and joints get injured and standing on hard concrete damages their feet. Many of them die in gestation crates because of stress and pain they endure on a daily basis. These pigs are not treated humanely and they have many complications. They get no rest between pregnancies and are not able to see their piglets. Gestation crates is the definition of cruelty and they should to be banned everywhere.
