  • A pig farm with 5,000 animals produces as much fecal waste as a city of 50,000 people.
  • More than 170,000 pigs die in transport each year, and more than 420,000 are crippled by the time they arrive at the slaughterhouse.
  • A typical slaughterhouse kills up to 1,100 pigs every hour, which makes it impossible for them to be given humane, painless deaths.
