AVEC PETITION EN ROSE
In 2013, a whistleblower captured video footage of mother pigs' final moments inside Southern Quality Meats, Inc. (SQM), a Pontotoc, Miss., slaughterhouse.
The Mississippi Department of Education (MDE) has awarded contracts worth more than $6 million in taxpayer funds to SQM to supply sausage to Mississippi schools, many of which have meal programs that are also supplemented with federal funds.
The footage shows one SQM worker jabbing pigs with electric prongs and even putting the prongs on one apparently stunned mother pig's lower abdomen and/or genitals for no apparent reason.
As this worker jabbed pigs, some vocalized in distress before they were rendered insensible and hung upside down by one leg to have their throats slit—while other pigs were just a few feet away.
We need your help to end this suffering.
Please take a moment today to politely urge MDE Interim State Superintendent of Education Dr. Lynn J. House to reconsider whether public funds should be used to support the suffering at SQM.
Please remember—and remind friends and family—that the suffering uncovered at SQM is just one of many ways in which pigs suffer before being slaughtered for hot dogs, ham, sausage, and bacon. The most important thing that one can do to help end the cruelty within the meat industry is to go vegan.
