No, it wasn't because people wanted cheap meat, it's because producers want more profits. It's called profit for a reason. As the video describes other stores don't buy from these despicable places that raise pigs. Any animal that will be eaten should at least have a dignified life until there time is up. Cows get better treatment living on a pastor!
As to the drug supplier comment, we do treat the drug addict. But like peoples craving for meat or food there will always be a demand.
What are the predators of a cow?
This all depends on where you are located. In North America, wolves, bears, cougars and coyotes will hunt and kill calves and old and weak cows. In Africa, lions, hyenas, leopards, wild dogs, crocodiles and cheetahs will kill livestock. In Asia, tigers, crocs, alligators, panthers, etc. will also prey on cattle.
This 20 minute video explains gestation cages?
You didn't watch the video in the OP's post. /facepalm/facepalm
I think that is the lesser point from the video. Gestation crates were more its concern: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestation_crateNo, the reason why they cut off the pig's testicles.
While troubling, I'm not going to blindly sign this petition or boycott walmart. Without knowing who the supplier is, this just appears to me to be another walmart hate party.

Apparently whacking piglet heads on the ground is an approved method of euthanasia if done properly: http://atwork.avma.org/2012/07/21/h...ia-of-suckling-pigs-using-blunt-force-trauma/
define a dignified life.
That's the problem: By grasping at straws to demonize Wal-Mart over the inhumane actions of a few idiots (and to push their vegetarian agenda), they compromised their entire goal. Screw those idiots and screw these idiots and screw the gullible idiots who fall for it and push it on us (sorry, OP).

Only 9 states and the EU ban the practice FFS!
To be honest, I don't think the point is to demonize Walmart. The point is to convince Walmart to use its power to stop these practices, like only Walmart can do.This.While troubling, I'm not going to blindly sign this petition or boycott walmart.

How about you watch the video and tell me that things don't need to be changed. Look at the fucking environment and the treatment of these pigs for fucks sake! Did you even see that piglets heads were bashed on the floor? You want to talk about predators but it's the human that's the biggest!
