Martha Stewart speaks up for humane treatment of pigs

Martha Stewart wants New Jersey lawmakers to make sure pigs are treated humanely befo🃏r🌃e they wind up in one of her signature roasts.

The lifestyle maven andജ Jersey City native wrote to the Humane Society urging legislators to stand firm in their support of a statewide ban on confining pigs that ꦓare raised for food in tiny gestation crates.

“These animals have committed no crime, yet they’re treated worse than even the most violent crimina𓆉ls would be treated,” wrote Stewart, who as an ex-con knows of what she speaks.

“No pr✨isoner in our state — or country, for that matter — is kept in a cage so small he can’t turn arounꦿd for months on end.”

Stewart has nothi꧅ng against eating pork; a search of “pork recipes” on marthastewart.com turns up 7,741 mouth-watering results.

She just wants pigs used for breedin♒g to be able to stand up, lie down, turn🧔 around and flex their legs when confined.

But portly Gov. Chris Christie vetoed the bill because of pressure from “out-oꦉf-state pork interests,” Stewart said in a statement.
