Join us in urging the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying to prohibit the manufacture, sale, and use of gestation and farrowing crates for pigs in compliance with the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960.
Help Reduce Pigs’ Suffering!
Gestation crates are metal enclosures measuring around 210 by 60 centimetres in which pigs used for breeding spend each of their nearly four-month-long pregnancies.
The crates prevent these sensitive, intelligent animals from turning around, walking, socialising, or even lying down comfortably.
Mother pigs suffer in these crates, enduring a cruel cycle of pregnancy and birth, until they are slaughtered.
