Bacon, pork shortage 'now unavoidable,' industry group says

By Tiffany Hsu September 24, 2012, 11:10 a.m.


Might want to get your fill of ham this year, because "a world shortage of pork and bacon next year is now unavoidable," according to an industry trade group.
Blame the drought conditions that blazed through the corn and soybean crop this year. Less feed led to herds declining across the European Union “at a significant rate,” according to the National Pig Assn. in Britain.
And the trend “is being mirrored around the world,” according to a release (hat tip to the Financial Times).
In the second half of next year, the number of slaughtered pigs could fall 10%, doubling the price of European pork, according to the release.
The trade group urged supermarkets to pay pig farmers a fair price for the meat to help cover the drought-related losses.
In U.S. warehouses, pork supply soared to a record last month, rising 31% to 580.8 million pounds at the end of August from a year earlier, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The surge came as farmers scaled down their herds as feeding the animals became increasingly expensive.

As long as pigs live like this:



I'm fine with having every pig farm in the world go broke.

Maybe then it can become a speciality product that people
eat only on rare occassions. Then maybe pig farms will start looking like this:

Hope everyone enjoyed their day.

The dress rehearsal of Die Fledermaus was great. I wonder if the singer knew he would grow up to sing while swinging on a giant pocket watch (yep, kids, opera has sure changed since I was a lass ). I ran into an old friend of mine, which was the best part. Of course, my poor Mom was stunned when A came up to me & hugged me (she's not used to handsome boys running up to me...nor am I, come to think of it ).

Better go check on the brats - they're ticked that my folks went home.

Night all.

Well Said BD!!! Yes, I agree, very, very cruel and disturbing way those pigs are treated. They only live and suffer greatly a short life only to be killed. It is sooo sad. Many people just don't think about it at all - they either don't realize what goes on or I hate to say it or they don't care. I wish to hell it would all end too.
