The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has confirmed that illegal mistreatment of pigs took place inside Southern Quality Meats, Inc. (SQM), a Pontotoc, Miss., slaughterhouse, where a whistleblower took video footage showing pigs jabbed with electric prongs and other poor handling. One worker even put the prongs, which can carry an electric current, on one apparently stunned mother pig’s lower abdomen and/or genitals.
Newly released USDA records show that SQM had long been aware of its animal-handling problems and not only broke the law but also had trouble complying with the USDA’s directives once caught.
The Mississippi Department of Education has awarded contracts worth millions in taxpayer dollars to SQM to supply sausage to Mississippi schools. Federal funds subsidize the state’s school meal programs, too.
