The Looming Commodity Crisis

[Fransisco]

Pigs are amazingly sensitive animals if you stress them out in any way they stop growing. And that's not good for my bottom line. I can't afford not to be good to them.

I don't need to "control" them, their job is simply to grow, and grow as quickly as possible. I give them all the food, water, space and freedom they need to pack on the pounds. They don't live a long life but in my barns its a good one.

My motto is you take good care of those pigs and they will take good care of you.

Good luck in goody twoshoe land "experts".


The day a farmer doesnt have to be tough with animals once in a while,is a day a kid from the local 7=11 can run the farm.

Well, well look who made it home before last call. What's the matter cotton did you get kicked out of your local pub?

Let me guess, you're the kind of guy who takes a pitch fork to that mother cow who is giving you a hard time.

You want to talk about ignorance? You're the one who wants to treat people the same way you treat your animals.

Once again you've shown the world why your eyebrows are thicker than everyone else's and your knuckles are closer to the floor.

Fransisco, if your definition of treating pigs right means forcing paylean down their throats, shooting them up with more hormones and drugs than a contestant at an 100 meter race at the olypics, forcing them into a cramped stalls, forcing them to live their entire lives in and above their toliets, and sending them off in an 18 wheel livestock trailer to slaughter at -35 celcius, then I guess, in your mind you are treating them better just fine.

How you can simply treat a living being to be equal and no more important than a sack of wheat is disturbing.

GrainBeetle said "Fransisco, if your definition..."

That is obviously not my definition little bug, it is yours.

What's the matter? Can't come up with a decent argument so now you have to pretend people have said things they didn't.

Tsk, tsk your mother wouldn't be very proud of this kind of behavior now would she?

I mean really, the thread is about what affect speculators and the funds have on markets and your contribution is to make up stories about how I treat my animals.

Give your head a shake, get on topic or give it a rest already. You're embarrassing yourself.
