EBAA Joins Lawsuit Against Cruel Pork Producer
In kids’ movies and cartoons, and in our popular imagination, piglets scamper on green grass under blue skies and, like all the animals “down on the farm,” share tender moments frolicking with their mothers and siblings.
But the reality of life for the vast majority of pigs raised for food—including the 9000 breeding sows who are living, right now, in constant suffering at CorcPork, Inc., California’s largest industrial pig farming operation—is more like a horror show. Animal Legal Defense Fund along with East Bay Animal Advocates and two pork consumers are taking CorcPork to court over its inhumane practices.

Did EBAA violate the CA Penal Code by trespassing to obtain the information they base their assesment on?
If you spent as much time fighting human world hunger as you do harrassing animal growers (whether for food or pleasure) there would be no hunger in the world. Lay off the animal people! Animals were put on this earth for food and clothing, nothing else! Read your Bible!!
The idea that industrial agriculture and factory farmed pork (or cattle, poultry, etc..) are not relevant issues when compared to global poverty induced hunger is result of misinformation campaigns..
Factory farmed pork is resource intensive and results in greater poverty induced famine worldwide. If people in the US could reduce their consumption of factory farmed meat, we could witness greater redistribution of resources and lowered rates of poverty induced famine worldwide..
What we witness recently with the E.coli contaminated spinach recall is that industrial agriculture and factory farming are not the safest method available to provide the world's population with adequate nutrition. We need to dispell the prevalent myth that industrial agriculture is the only way to feed the world's population..
"Myth one: Industrial agriculture will feed the world
The truth:
World hunger is not created by lack of food but by poverty and landlessness, which deny people access to food. Industrial agriculture actually increases hunger by raising the cost of farming, by forcing tens of millions of farmers off the land, and by growing primarily high-profit export and luxury crops."

East Bay Animal Advocates has never investigated this facility. The documentation is a product of an investigation from other source. Thank you.
What is the "other source" that supposedly investigated CorcPork and provided this information about the conditions of their animals?
This is odd. Isn't there already another lawsuit in progress against CorcPork for the exact same thing that Farm Sanctuary filed 3 years ago and is still ongoing?
How is EBAA's and ALDF's lawsuit different from Farm Sanctuary's lawsuit? Did EBAA and ALDF discuss their lawsuit with Farm Sanctuary before filing something that appears to be identical? Isn't this kind of redundancy a waste of effort?
