you moron, having the pigs in metal crates is safer, more productive, and more humane than having them not be in a crate

1. the crates are cleaned out daily, so parasite load are kept minimal to null
2. the farrowing crates that you often see mother pigs in when they give birth and wean baby piglets in in peta shit videos is not for amusement. Its to keep the baby piglets safe.

Mother pigs often roll over and crush the piglets, or they eat their young, yes they are cannibalistic, so keeping them separated from the young is more humane

3. By keeping the adult pigs separated, you avoid unwanted rivalries and deaths due to the pigs eating each other, just like the cannibalistic mothers adult pigs eat each other, even when they are fed a well balanced diet
