Such issues as sow stalls are destined to be resolved by moving in the direction towards systems which the public finds acceptable. Obviously the public is concerned about restricting the freedom of movement of animals and the public would prefer that such systems (such as tethers and sow stalls) be abolished. This is a response that has nothing to do with “welfare” from the pig’s perspective (though they would argue that is the very essence of their concern)—they simply find stalls offensive from their own personal perspective and would like to see them abolished. No amount of scientific evidence would ever convince the public that such systems are not cruel. (Stookey, personal communication to Rick Klassen and Laurie Connor, February 16, 1983)
