A Veterinarian Fights to End Massive Cruel Extermination of Pigs!

Shock and outrage as undercover footage shows the horrors of pigs at an Iowa pork plant dying slow, agonizing deaths, many shrieking for long periods, in a horrific process where they are slowly roasted to death called Ventilation Shutdown. Matt Johnson, the undercover investigator for the animal rights group Direct Action Everywhere, was about to face trial for his role in documenting the violence against these animals, when charges were abruptly dropped in the midst of a media frenzy over the scandal. Meanwhile, for almost 2 years, Dr. Crystal Heath,. a veterinarian, has been working to raise awareness about the atrocity of ventilation shutdown, a mass extermination where where animals are essentially slowly roasted to death. She's been pleading with the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) to reclassify it as a completely and utterly unacceptable form of depopulation. Dr. Heath says Ventilation Shutdown exposes the brutality of our food system and the need to stop the expansion of animal agriculture and reverse course with a sense of urgency. Some critics estimate that a quarter of a million pigs were exterminated in this brutal way during the COVID crisis in 2020, while it was being falsely portrayed as euthanasia.
