This looks nothing like is described in the story. This is very clean and the hogs looked very comfortable and content. I am glad I watched the video

Don't be fooled. Concentration camps were made to look acceptable to Red Cross observers. Gestation crates are used to fit as many animals into as small a space as possible and to enable as few people as possible to tend to them. The animals needs and comforts are not considered at all.
