Finnish pigs to keep their tails OCT 18, 1999, M2 Communications - The Finnish pigs should be allowed to keep their tails, according to Animalia, the Finnish animal rights organisation. The Finnish ministry of forestry and agriculture has reportedly planned to change animal rights regulations to allow pig farmers to cut off the tails of pigs to avoid tail biting. According to Animalia, tail biting is a symptom of other problems and not a problem in itself. Economic reasons should not be allowed to regulate if the tails are cut off, although it is cheaper to buy the instrument to cut the tails off instead of consulting experts to examine the possible causes or to improve the pigs' environment. Animalia also fears that by allowing the tails to be cut off, the procedure may become routine, the Finnish newspaper Hufvudstadsbladet reported. This would not be in agreement with the Finnish image as an animal protection country according to Animalia.
