These counties cannot be bothered to adhere to even the bare minimum standards for the protection of pigs!
How utterly disgusting! How much of this cruelly produced meat ends up here in the UK? Probably loads!
In 2001 the EU agreed the Pigs Directive (2008/120/EC), laying down minimum standards for the protection of pigs, one of the results of which was the banning of the sow stall from 1 January 2013. The EU allowed producers a 11 year phase-out period and exemptions for the first four weeks of a sow’s pregnancy as well as the week before farrowing.
SHAME ON THEM ALL!
