The treatment of pigs isn't much better. To produce succulent pig's trotters, pig farmers cover the ground with cement so the pigs can't dig in the earth. As a result their outer hooves become longer than their inner hooves, and they are unable to stand with good balance unless on soft ground. This in turn leads to deformed legs and backbones--all of which cause great pain.
豬的待遇也好不到哪裡去，為了生產肉質柔軟的豬蹄，業主將地面鋪上水泥，讓豬不能扒土，這樣一來，外蹄比內蹄稍長的豬，離開鬆軟的土地無法平衡站立，導致腿部變形、脊椎畸形，痛苦不堪。
