Abstract

The article reports that pig farmers in Norway are battling a government regulation that would prohibit the castration of piglets by 2009. Animal rights activists say castration of piglets causes depression and unnecessary pain because the piglets are not anaesthetized for the procedure. Farmers say that intact male pigs have "boar taint," which causes them to be unpalatable and unmarketable, as well as aggressive behaviors.
