Sample letter on the farrowing crate

Dear Sir

As a customer of [name of the supermarket] in [your town/city] I am writing to express my strong concern about the sale of pig meat from pigs born in the farrowing crate. Pregnant sows are imprisoned in this tiny cage for 28-35 days when giving birth. Unable to walk, turn or fulfil their powerful maternal instincts, sows suffer stress, pain and psychological torture in the crate. Their piglets are often born into thier mother's excrement and many dies of starvation and heat loss in this system. Even though humane, effective alternatives to the farrowing crate exist, hundreds of thousands of pigs still endure this barbaric treatment more than twice a year, every year.

Please stop selling meat produced from pigs forced to endure this torment. I look forward to your response.

Yours sincerely
