Im good. Bacon tasty. Preachy vegans are lame.

Bro this isn't about veganism, I love the taste of bacon too. What I read in that article is absolutely fucked. A small quote:

Male piglets at the farm have their tails cut off and testicles ripped out by hand without anesthesia or pain relief, both standard practices in the industry. The investigator filmed employees tossing the testicles at each other and at a wall that was covered in them.

Sadly this isn't just common in the bacon industry, similar abhorrent practises are common in literally every livestock sector. The workers develop a sort of disassociation and don't see them as animals anymore, or just straight up don't care.
