10 foot inflatable pig in West End
BEAUMONT- By: Kalie Desimone/ KFDM News
It wasn't your average day for drivers along dowlen road today. A 10 foot tall inflatable bloody pig in a cage stood near an entrance of Walmart for most of the day. Several protestors brought the pig to Beaumont to shed light on alleged animal abuse by one of the supermarkets pork suppliers.
The animal rights organization says numerous undercover investigations at Walmart pork suppliers have found pigs suffering from open wounds and sores. They say the pork sold in Walmart stores comes from factory farms where pigs spend almost all their lives locked in narrow, metal crates. And those cages are barely large enough for the pigs bodies.
"It is high time that Walmart realize that it is out of step with American vales to confine these pigs to tiny gestation crates" says Phil Letten, National Campaign Coordinator of Mercy for Animals.
