Man finds yet another way to industrialize and reduce the standard of living for one of God's creatures (the pig) Isn't it bad enough that these poor creatures are kept in stalls instead of outdoors, allowing them to root and play in the dirt, until their dte of slaughter? While it is commendable that the pig slurry would be converted to "gree" energy, there is nothing "green" in the way we keep our farm animals.

Isn't it becoming obvious by the recent swine flu outbreak that we are setting ourselves up for disease when we keep large quantities of animals in close proximity to humans and each other???
