In seven floors skyscraper 30,000 pigs-slaves are fattened.
Pigs that use elevators are not uncommon in China. In multi-floors pig farms, the animals are driven from floor to floor, depending on their stage of development.
A private Chinese agricultural company already operates two seven-stores pig farms in the country, with four more to follow. The pig high-rise buildings would have many advantages, says Jiang Wei, who is responsible for the breeding of pigs here:
“The environment and the temperature control system are very good here and that will certainly reduce the deaths among the piglets. There will be a higher survival rate and the mother pigs will produce more piglets. In this case, we have to invest less and have higher productivity. “!!!
The high-rise pig house, where Jiang Wei works, is home to about 30,000 animals. A special ventilation system and other devices should ensure that each floor can be operated independently of the other floors. Even viruses could not jump from floor to floor, the operators say.
But even in China, there are doubts about the alleged safety of these factory farms on several floors. Scientists say the risk of disease and epidemic disease with the number of kept animals.
Regardless, the high-rises for pigs in China are currently in vogue. Pig farms are to be built here soon, which even have 13 floors.

But even in China there are doubts about the alleged safety of these mass animal husbandry on several floors.
Comment: In Maas Dorf near Halle (Germany) is a pig high-rise too. On six floors, approximately 500 sows are kept, which every year thousands of piglets in the world have to bring.
The animals are transported to the individual floors with elevators, there is no outlet.
Already in 2015 and 2016, the organization “German Animal Protection Office” revealed massive violations of the law and filed criminal complaints.
Now there are again shocking images from the pig high-rise, which again clearly show offenses and animal cruelty. The animals are kicked, abused and killed.
On 13.03.2018, the organization has now reimbursed the third complaint against the operator of the pig tower.
There has also been a huge demonstration with 650 people in front of the high slaughterhouse.
Television stations, radio stations or newspaper offices; whether regional or national – many media reported and thus brought a wide range for the fight of the “German Animal Welfare Office” but also for the common fight against animal cruelty and the exploitation of animals.
The activists of the “German Animal Protection Office” are sticking to their goal: they want to get the pig high-rise closed. And the same must be done by the animal rights activists in China!
