Protesters stood
beside a giant inflatable caged pig outside Walmart on Gallatin Road. The pig
is designed to illustrate conditions at some of the farms that supply pork to
Walmart. Activists from the group, Mercy for Animals say undercover video from
Christensen Farms shows pigs living in small cages with open wounds and piglets
being slammed to the ground head first. The group is calling on Walmart to
pressure the farms to clean up their act. The practice of caging pigs has been
banned in nine U.S. States and the European Union.
