  • Read Our Fact Sheet on the PIGS
    Factsheet The PIGS Act Ending the use of extreme confinement of mother pigs What Does the Pigs in Gestation Stalls (PIGS) Act Do? This bill would ban the use of gestation stalls (also known as “crates”) for housing pregnant pigs and require that they have at least 36 square feet of space and the ability to lie down, stand up, and turn around freely. The two-foot by seven-foot crates currently used in the industry are so restrictive that pregnant pigs are essentially immobilized – sadly, they spend most of their lives kept in these horrific conditions. By forbidding this extreme form of confinement, Congress will level the playing field for all producers (nearly a dozen states restrict the practice and dozens of retailers have pledged to buy pork only from crate-free operations) and give consumers more confidence about the pig industry’s animal welfare standards. Why Support the PIGS Act? Keeping Pregnant Pigs in Extreme Confinement is Inhumane A breeding pig may spend up to three years intensively confined in a crate, and that’s the bulk of her entire lifespan. A pig can weigh 400 pounds, and the two-foot wide crate immobilizes her for months on end. The Humane Methods of Slaughter Act stipulates that pigs must be rendered insensible to pain prior to slaughter, and it only makes sense to have humane treatment standards for these animals for the duration of their lives. Pigs raised for meat are not kept in these needlessly restrictive crates, and neither should pregnant pigs. Major Retailers are Moving Away from Extreme Confinement Almost every major food retailer in the United States – from McDonald’s to Costco to Aramark – has agreed to phase out all purchasing of pork from farms that confine sows in gestation crates, with most policies taking effect in 2022.

Smithfield Foods: A Corporate Profile When it’s not violating U.S. water pollution and labor laws, Smithfield Foods, Inc. is gulping up its American and foreign competitors in the meat packing industry. Not content with being the world’s largest pig producer and seller of processed pork, Smithfield, as one newspaper described it, is the company that “still wants to be the biggest hog at the trough.”1 In the meantime, as its hunger to absorb smaller pork and other meat companies around the world continues, Smithfield has been charged with violating federal anti-trust laws over a four-year period.2 But to Smithfield executives, the company’s strategy of buying out vulnerable companies is simply taking a sow’s ear and making a nice silk purse.

Thousands of members of our Smithfield Family have joined me in signing this letter because they have stood on the frontlines as our company has fulfilled its responsibility to our team members and country amid the COVID-19 pandemic. While I appreciate this chance to highlight our employees and farmers’ tremendous work in response to COVID-19, the aggressive and accusatory tone of your letter suggests your offices have already formed conclusions without an attempt to speak with us or understand the industry that provides affordable meals to millions of Americans every day. This is disappointing. This is especially disheartening after what our industry and its brave frontline workers have been through over the past several months. Your letter is fraught with misinformation about our company and industry that appears to be strictly gleaned from media outlets that have made statements and inferences that grossly mischaracterize us, our values and response to COVID-19. Moreover, your letter reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of our food supply chain, the agricultural sector and the role exports play in a healthy farm economy.

  • Welfare Issues with Gestation Crates for Pregnant Sows
    An HSUS Report: Welfare Issues with Gestation Crates for Pregnant Sows Abstract Throughout nearly the entirety of their 112-115 day pregnancies, 80% of breeding sows in the United States are confined in gestation crates (also known as sow stalls)—individual metal enclosures so restrictive that the pigs cannot turn around. Crated sows suffer a number of significant welfare problems, including elevated risk of urinary tract infections, weakened bones, overgrown hooves, lameness, behavioral restriction, and stereotypies. Due to concerns for the welfare of intensively confined sows, legislative, industry, and corporate policies are increasingly phasing out the use of gestation crates. Introduction More than 6.1 million pigs are used for breeding in the U.S. pork industry. 1 The majority (80%) of breeding sows are confined in gestation crates 2 for nearly the entirety of their approximately four-month (112-115 day 3) pregnancies. Gestation crates are individual, concrete-floored metal stalls measuring 0.6-0.7 m (2.0-2.3 ft) by 2.0-2.1 m (6.6-6.9 ft), only slightly larger than the animal and so severely restrictive that the sows are unable to turn around.4 In typical pig production facilities, gestation crates are placed side by side in rows, often with more than 20 sows per row and 100 or more sows per shed. 5,6 The crate floors are customarily constructed with slats to allow manure to fall into a lower pit to separate the sow from her excrement. 7 Economic pressure, rather than science or animal welfare, is the driving force behind the use of gestation crate housing in the U.S.

  • Smithfield Agreement
    AGREEMENT This AGREEMENT is made this 25th day of July, 2000, by and between the ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NORTH CAROLINA; SMITHFIELD FOODS, INC.; BROWN’S OF CAROLINA, INC.; CARROLL’S FOODS, INC.; MURPHY FARMS, INC.; CARROLL’S FOODS OF VIRGINIA, INC.; AND QUARTER M FARMS, INC. WHEREAS, Brown’s of Carolina, Inc.; Carroll’s Foods, Inc.; Murphy Farms, Inc.; Carroll’s Foods of Virginia, Inc.; and Quarter M Farms, Inc. (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”) are subsidiaries of Smithfield Foods, Inc. (“Smithfield”) (collectively, the “Companies”). The Subsidiaries are North Carolina corporations engaged in raising hogs on farms they individually own and operate. The Subsidiaries also contract individually with independent farmers to raise their hogs. Smithfield owns all of the outstanding stock of the Subsidiaries, but does not itself raise any hogs in North Carolina. WHEREAS, the Attorney General is acting pursuant to his authority under Chapter 114 of the General Statutes and enters into this Agreement after consulting with the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (“DENR”). WHEREAS, hog production and a clean and safe environment are important to the farming community and economy of North Carolina. WHEREAS, the current anaerobic lagoon and sprayfield system for swine waste management employed by the Subsidiaries and other hog producers in North Carolina is currently authorized and permitted under State law and the Companies believe it is currently the best available technology for swine waste management; however, the Attorney General has concluded that the public interest will be served by the development and implementation of environmentally superior swine waste management technologies appropriate to each category of hog farms in North Carolina.

  • Smithfield Foods Closes the Only Remaining Smokehouse Making Genuine Smithfield Ham
    A sad day in Hamtown: Smithfield Foods closes the only remaining smokehouse making genuine Smithfield ham By Gregory S. Schneider (but edited for length by Dr. Drzyzga) July 20, 2018 Salted hams curing in Tommy Darden’s smokehouse in Isle of Wight County, VA. (Gregory S. Schneider/TWP) SMITHFIELD, Virginia — Although the town was named after a colonial British Captain, Arthur Smith, the local charity run is called the Hog Jog; the mascot for the wine festival is Pig-o-noir; the town museum promises the “World’s Oldest Ham;” the rescue truck at the fire department is named “Hamtown Heavy;” and October brings the Bacon & Bourbon Fest. You could say Smithfield is obsessed with pork, but that would understate how deeply hogs are woven into the history and life of this town of 8,300 on a hill overlooking the Pagan River. So, unsurprisingly, it has come as a shock that Smithfield Foods is shuttering the last smokehouse that produces the area’s signature product, the genuine Smithfield ham. “Really? You’re going to do this?” was the reaction of former Smithfield Foods executive Herb De Groft, 77. The salty, long-cured ham has been a regional staple since the English colonists and their hogs arrived at nearby Jamestown in the early 1600s. There is a whole section of Virginia State Code — Title 3.2, Chapter 54, Article 4 — entitled “Smithfield Hams.” Just as the French define and protect Champagne and Georgians define and protect the Vidalia Onion, Virginia law dictates that genuine Smithfield ham must be cured in Smithfield.
