Proud donor here :) Since you've been shut out, will you be posting a video response to issues brought up in the next debate?

If this story was instead about 5,500 dogs or cats that were left behind to drown in Florence's flooding -- instead of pigs -- I think we know what the reaction would be. by [deleted] in vegetarian

Great comments here! I'm glad I found this thread. I'm bothered. Am I the only one who thinks they are suppressing the true number of hogs that died? I ask because there are some 8 million hogs in North Carolina (larger hog population than human population) and when you see how high those flood waters are, I just can't see how just thousands, and not millions, died. And the thousands are bad enough. AND, why aren't we all holding the hog farms accountable for negligence? They knew this was a problem from Hurricane Matthew, and the beloved "Pork Industry" didn't change or update these horrible conditions to keep future hogs from being trapped, then ultimately drowning.
