Why an Egg Amendment in Farm Bill Has Pig Lobbyists Flapping - NationalJournal.com: The National Pork Producers Council, for example, worries that if chickens are given the right to more space in their cages, then so too will pigs.
"So our animals can't turn around for the 2.5 years that they are in the stalls producing piglets," said Dave Warner, a spokesman for NPPC. "I don't know who asked the sow if she wanted to turn around.... The only real measure of their well-being we have is the number of piglets per birth, and that's at an all-time high."
