Sow 110-orange starred as Babe's mum in the movie.
Sow 110-orange, the movie mother of Babe, has experienced 9 litters, produced over 100 piglets,
and despite having generated thousands and thousands of dollars of profit for the piggery
is confined in an area so small she cannot even turn around.
Babe's mum (right) in a dry sow stall so small she can only take one step forward and one step back. If they made the stalls any smaller you wouldn't be able to get the sows into them in the first place.
Dry sow stalls have been banned in the U.K.
Sows have to sleep on faeces several inches deep. There are no feeders in these pens so the food in thrown in and the sows have to lick it off their own excreta.
Farrowing crate. A sow produces piglets not unlike a machine producing sausages.
Pigs are more intelligent than many breeds of dog. If we were to confine a dog in these conditions we would be prosecuted for cruelty.
A sows strong maternal instincts are frustrated by the barren prison-like environment.
All newborn piglets have their teeth clipped and tails docked.
90% of all piglet deaths are caused by their mother crushing and suffocating them.
Overlaid piglet. Grate markings clearly imprinted into her small body.
Pork, ham and bacon were once playful, warm blooded, thinking, sentient mammals.
Piglets are only born to die.
Weaner piglets prematurely separated from their mothers.
Grower pigs have so little room to lie down their bodies are intertwined like pieces in a jigsaw puzzle.
Dead bin almost overflowing.
