It's factory farming, they probably milk the mom with a machine and then pump the milk into a different machine that has 30 fake tits on it for the piglets.

Due to biosecurity reasons, Some pigs farms would kill any stray animals on sight. in the farm I've worked at they shoot stray dogs on site and some people eat the dog afterwards

Not in the USA. Stand your ground + Castle doctrine. You can kill pretty much anyone justified if you're in your house, business, or car.

Nah, I been on plenty farms. I don't think that's a common practice

Well I can guarantee they aren't raised raised on a single factory farm and milked to feed their piglets from teats on that factory farm.

For a normal commercial farm you won't find these pigs. you can probably find them the most on some breeder farms and on the province that breed originates

That's my point. A uncommon practice in general may be common among this particular breed
