Undercover Video Shows Shocking Conditions at Kentucky Hog Farm 
----------------------------------------------------------------


 
The Humane Society of the United States has just released undercover
video showing shocking conditions at a huge hog operation in Kentucky
called Iron Maiden Farms. One video shows pigs confined in cramped cages
known as gestation crates being fed ground up intestines from piglets
who had recently succumbed to a highly contagious disease. More than 900
piglets recently died from the disease in a two-day period.
