A major crisis is coming to a head on pig farms up and down the country.
It's a crisis that farmers warned us about, and now it's happening.
Their worst nightmares are coming to pass; the mass culling of healthy animals because there simply aren't enough butchers to process them and get them off farms.
... Thousands of healthy pigs are almost certainly being killed every week at the moment - possibly tens of thousands. These animals are not destined for the food chain but are killed just to make space on farms.
