This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day: Another day, another appalling undercover investigation from the Humane Society of the United States: The animal advocacy group has released evidence — and video footage — of pig abuse at a factory farm that allegedly is a supplier to Tyson Foods.

Video shot in April at the Wyoming Premium Farms facility in Wheatland shows workers kicking living piglets like soccer balls; swinging sick piglets in circles by their hind legs; striking mother pigs with their fists; and repeatedly and forcefully kicking them as they resisted leaving their young.

A Tyson Foods spokesman denies the company buys directly from the farm:

Tyson Foods does not buy any of the hogs raised on this farm for our pork processing plants. … A company that we own has purchased hogs from the farm. We will not purchase from this farm until we’ve had a chance to investigate.

(Heads up — video contains graphic images of animal abuse.)

The list is the best part, which I shall be posting momentarily.

A simple idea that came out of hearing a story on the radio. For Tracy Oseran, it was something she had to do: help find and distribute food that would otherwise be thrown out — perfectly edible food—from supermarkets, farmer’s markets, events, and restaurants, and deliver that food to agencies and schools that work directly with those facing food insecurity and hunger concerns. Last year her company, Urban Gleaners rescued over 500,000 pounds of food from being thrown into landfills, and instead given to people in need. Join us as we visit her organization in action.
