Open letter to Australian pig farmers:
This month, Farm Transparency Project released new footage showing semen collection from boars at an Australian pig farm. The footage shows a worker pushing pigs to mount a 'dummy sow,' before manually masturbating them until they ejaculate. Also published was footage showing the 'training' of boars by using a female pig to sexually arouse them, then forcing them to mount the dummy.
Often, boars will resist as they are brought into the pens, refusing to mount the dummy even as they are shoved and hit by the worker.
I am joining Farm Transparency Project and others in calling on pig farmers to participate in No Nut November, an abstinence challenge which calls on people to avoid ejaculation for a single month. In this case, we are calling on Australian pig farmers to resist masturbating boars for the entire month of November, in the hopes that this will give the Australian Pork industry an opportunity to reflect on whether industry-approved bestiality is in line with societal expectations.
I encourage you to take the pledge by publicly announcing your commitment to not forcing pigs to ejaculate or sexually touching pigs for the entire month of November.
I suggest that you use the month to explore and understand consensual sex acts and maybe consider self-pleasure in the future, rather than forcing non-consenting pigs to ejaculate for your benefit.
Regards,
Farm Transparency Project
