And that's because in Ohio, like most states, if something is considered standard agricultural practice, it's exempt from cruelty prosecution. And the practice of slamming baby piglets head first into the ground is considered standard agricultural practice, known as thumping in the pork industry. It is considered a cheap and effective way of killing animals.

stress disorder, which is essentially a form of post-traumatic stress disorder that comes about when people are put in situations to do things that they find morally So similar to the case that I described earlier about the piglet being slammed into the ground, we see that other routine practices that cause extreme suffering for animals
- It's disgusting, yes. And this is what Aella, you know, deserves, according to, you know, Bjorn Ironside and Ivar the Boneless, the sons of Ragnar. Like, this is what they get. - Offense. - This is the piglets coming- ... to their own boar, you know? One last thing about Ragnar, is his wife is also an important part. He had something like 12 sons, the accounts differ, and probably three marriages. But his most famous wife was named Aslaug, and she fell in love with him. He was on a ship, he was passing through, so-
He raised over 10,000 pigs, a large operation. He arrived one May morning in 1999 with this bucket of piglets to the classroom, and when he got there, one of the piglets was still alive. A student in the class, who did part-time work on Mr. Jenkins' farm, walked over to the bucket, picked up this piglet

Now, one day he brought to school a bucket of day-old piglets to be used in a dissection project. Now, these were piglets that he had tried to kill that morning on his farm. But when he arrived to the school, one of the piglets was still alive.

'The Invasive Fennel'. Once the sheep are removed, the fennel, the seeds you use in sausages and so on. This grew up into an enormous thicket. It's the size of this room, 20 feet high. And delicious piglets hid in the thickets and the Goldens and nothing to eat. What are they gonna eat? Now we get to the poster animal out of all of this. The dwarf island fox, which is four- to six- pounds, the size of a small cat, through the principles of modern biogeography which will either make an animal larger or smaller depending on its availability

A student in the class who also did part-time work on the teacher's pig farm took the piglet by her hind legs and slammed her head-first into the ground to try to kill this piglet . Now, the piglet didn't die.
They did some investigating, and they determined that the one mother sow had figured out how to use her tongue to unlatch a pin in the cage door and liberate herself, and then freed her piglets behind her. But she didn't stop there.
OK. This, in my estimation, is a tired sow. She certainly looks tired, and I'm not sure you can count every single piglet , but I think it's a slightly smaller litter. So we're just going to call her a tired sow.
But when he arrived to the school, one of the piglets was still alive. A student in the class who also did part-time work on the teacher's pig farm took the piglet by her hind legs and slammed her head-first into the ground to try to kill this piglet .
She's in horrible distress. A few of the students who were appalled by this act of abuse took the dying piglet , left the classroom, and took her to a teacher who was known as being a vegetarian and sympathetic to animal cruelty.
and stepped inside. And he saw mother pigs with their babies in farrowing crates. But he noticed that one of the cage doors was open and the mother was in the hallway with her baby piglets behind her. And as he investigated more, he realized that, in fact, two other sows were also
It's still an animal trials. But so far, this milk does show some ability to promote intestinal health and help piglets fight off various forms of diarrhoeal disease.
And this teacher also ran a pig farm. Now, one day he brought to school a bucket of day-old piglets to be used in a dissection project. Now, these were piglets that he had tried to kill that morning on his farm.

that all animals are really equal, and the difference is only our perception of them. About six years later, another big, life changing lesson came in also a small package, and that was a baby piglet . My local high school in this farming community had an agriculture class.
He arrived one May morning in 1999 with this bucket of piglets to the classroom, and when he got there, one of the piglets was still alive. A student in the class, who did part-time work on Mr. Jenkins' farm, walked over to the bucket, picked up this piglet by her hind legs, and slammed her head first into the ground.
another teacher in the school who was known as being the vegetarian who cared about animals. She left the school, went to a local veterinarian, and had this poor piglet euthanized. There was nothing they could do to help her.
is Piggy because by the time we found him, because he got hit a month before and so much time had passed where he was just getting sicker and sicker, by the time we found him, he had no hair. So, he looked like a piglet as a puppy. So, we named him Piggy. Yeah. Since then, he's lived up to it in other ways, but that's the story. Yeah. We have to
a teacher who was known as being a vegetarian and sympathetic to animal cruelty. That teacher left the school, went to a local vet office, and had the piglet euthanized. Now, following that case, there were two counts of animal cruelty that were filed, one against the student and one against the teacher.
and he gets pulled out and he's asked why he's not dying and he explains, rather foolishly, that he has these hairy breeches. So, they take the pants off and throw him back, and his last words are, um, "When the boar bleats, the piglets come."... by which he means, "My s- I have sons," he had 12 of them, "and they will avenge me." And they do, they lead the the Great

out. In the Bahamas, in the tongue of the ocean, in the middle where itís really deep, thereís a population now growing of these oceanic white tips. Thereís an island there called Big Major Cay, which has these pigs living on the beach with babies. So little piglets there occasionally. The locals feed them, so theyíll come in and feed them scraps. What the pigs are doing now is swimming out to the boats that are coming in. And so we just take cameras in the water and itís a lot of fun.

groundhogs. And so, in the absence of the moles, the Goldens moved in. Why? Because there was a good food source for them. Delicious, fat, creamy, ripe, little piglets . The pigs, how had the pigs gotten there? Well, the original sheep ranchers had some pigs and the pigs got loose. Now 150 years later, they were feral. Wild boars all over the island. Wouldn't be so bad except that, except for the sheep. The sheep had to be removed because once it became a National Conservancy and
