In Cambodia , there is a slob farm that ’s been receive a lot of attention online . They ’ve been mail a set of motion-picture show of their animals to their Facebook page , and the mail have go viral for pretty obvious reasons .
If you have ever eat porc , plan on eating porc in the future , or are terrorize of pigs and dread themone 24-hour interval come up upand attacking the human race , you may want to bet out now . Because these photos are not pretty .
The pictures show possibly the buffest squealer you ’ll ever see . They . Are . Hench .
People have been outraged by the farm , especially after a video of the fuzz appears to show they can only walk with difficulty .
PETA has claimed that the pigs have been genetically altered , nickname them " mutant pigs " and the " real - lifeOkja " in ablog post .
" Mutant pigs breed to grow to an enormous size of it just to be slaughter and eat ? … this is the very tangible horror that seems to be open on aCambodian farm , where genetically altered pigs are being bred to educate pile knot of muscle mass , " they write .
So why are they so mesomorphic ? The need for pork has increased in late long time , and spare muscle mass mean more net profit when pork barrel is price by weight .
As for whether they are genetically altered , that is n’t so unclouded . It ’s certainly potential to genetically vary pigs to increase their muscle mass . In 2015 scientists created " double - muscled " pig witha exclusive tweakto the gene that regulates muscle production . The team , from South Korea , hoped that their pigs would be approved for human using up , as their tweak was much less major than other genetic modifications , which require genes from one species to be transplanted into another .
Jin - Soo Kim , who pass the research at Seoul National University , reason that this type of pinch could have been done through other means . “ We could do this through nurture , ” hetold Nature , “ but then it would take decennium . ”
Their method acting , however , was not approve for human consumption . So far , no genetically modified animal has been .
Newsweek suggeststhat the fauna have likely been bred that means , rather than genetically interpolate , as pictures on the farm ’s Facebook varlet show that not all the pigs are uniformly mesomorphic .
People online continue to accuse the Farmer of using steroid , ontogenesis hormones , or genetic engineering to make the pigs look like this . Even hoi polloi who think this is a result of selective breeding are n’t entirely impressed .
" This is antic ! " one Facebook user drop a line . " Obviously spawn like this . Are there no laws to bar this kind of thing . Ugh ! "
