(OP) User ID: 76756058 United States09/19/2018 11:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The number of hogs and poultry killed in Hurricane Florence flooding is already double the casualties from Matthew in 2016, and the losses are expected to mount this week as new information comes in from farmers as they gain access to their properties.

But the real heart ache is for the animals--particularly pigs mentioned here--due to the unbelievably awful way pigs are kept in captivity on most larger industrial-level farms.

(OP) User ID: 76756058 United States09/19/2018 11:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | As you mention the dogs and cats. On TWC just now was a dog rescue of what looked like big dog puppies that allegedly will be sent to Baltimore and some where else for adoption.. Yes, it isn't just pig, chickens and turkeys but dogs and cats too. I wonder when we are going to hear anything about dead carcasses of wild animals. Just imagine how everything that lives on the ground or close to the ground also got drowned. Utterly heartbreaking. |

Culturally outdated by choice User ID: 76556707 United States09/19/2018 01:16 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No animal should be forced to endure what hogs and chickens in these massive "enclosure" operations live through on a daily basis - and then to be trapped and drowned on top of it... unspeakable. I still eat some meat, but only from farmers I actually know and who treat their animals decently and give them good lives. If they're being raised to feed us, they deserve to be treated well. It's no wonder we treat each other so poorly when we have no respect for the creatures that feed us. We eat poison and spew poison. More deplorable all the time. |

User ID: 70161829 United States09/19/2018 01:31 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | With that many hogs and chickens being killed, the price of chicken, eggs and pork is going to go out of sight. Egg prices were just beginning to go down. Pork prices were depressed for a few months now I assume we will see them rise. If you live in an unaffected area, contact your local shelters if you can help with donations or to adopt or foster a dog or cat. Our local adoption centers have taken dozens of animals from those areas and have collected besides money, crates, food and blankets. justavet In the end, our regrets are for what we didn't do, not for what we did. |

Quoting: TheDogCatcher It sucks for the farmers more than anything. Animals on farms come and go. It’s not a big deal Would you be a muslim? Do you not like pork meat? What about the price of your bacon now going thru the roof?...and I hope you don't plan on having ham or turkey for thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. This was a tragic waste of our food supply. Try not to think about the "filthy" and try to be mindful that your food supply just shrank by a lot. |

(OP) User ID: 76756058 United States09/19/2018 01:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Now here is something else to consider about that food supply. Just think of all the preppers that live in the Carolina's. That is a heavy "survivalist" area. All their food stash is now gone. All their guns and ammo is ruined. Everything they had to survive off the grid or in a civil war situation is now just gone. I hope and pray they will have time to replenish before it is too late. Prayers for the people and their tragic loses. |

They had plenty of days warning. The governor gave special consideration for trucks/travel/roads. They just didn't do it. Maybe they didn't have the money to move the livestock or the trailers. |
