I dont think they are following the lb per pig per day for every month rule. Or they are but didn't stop at 5 months

Interesting . Thanks for posting.
I suppose it is not too far removed from our keeping animals in fattening pens or paddocks just a bit more extreme . Still it might just be a bit less invasive than force feeding like the geese for foie gras liver pate .

I should think those poor pig will be glad to be dead. It's got to be better than the lives they were living even if the end was nasty.
