Piglets Go to Court to Stop Castration: Get Used to Boar-Taint Bacon

Male piglets sue in German court to stop their castration by hog farmers. To be more specific, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) goes to court on behalf of the piglets. Farmers castrate most young boars because if they don’t the meat will suffer from “boar taint.” But this episode of Right Angle is more about law than bacon.

Silly. But on the other hand, we have been raising pigs for years, and you cannot tell the difference between castrated and uncastrated males, except that the uncastrated males give you more meat.
