In early 1945 during World War II Landsberg was heavily damaged by fighting between the Wehrmacht and the Soviet Red Army

There was a programme on the television involving Jamie Oliver and pigs which kind of got us thinking, "Why don't you get cows raised in tiny little cages?" (not that one would necessarily want that, but the question was more to do with, "But what about the cows? What happens to them?") I conjectured that this might be to do with the fact that cows eat grass and pigs eat . . . well, pretty much anything, I believe. Thus, pig is much easier to feed within confined spaces. How would you keep a cow fed with fresh grass within a tiny little cage like that? I'm kind of guessing here. I think Jamie was trying to encourage us to buy only UK-reared pig-meat or something like that. The message got kind of got confused a bit as they had a sow giving birth to these gorgeously cute little piglets who, seemingly within a few dozen seconds, would wander over to a waiting teat, and just kind of 'knew' where to go, what to do, stuff like that, umbilical cord still attached (I guess it stops them wandering off too far), of course. So yeah . . . erm . . . I wonder what Wikipedia thinks, or am I searching for the wrong thing?

- Comment: I don't know. Is it? You're probably right; I've never really looked into it. Trouble is, of course, no matter how humanely we as a country treat animals, there's always another country where they don't treat the animals quite as well and where, as a consequence, they can rear animals far cheaper than we can . . . blah, blah, blah, so our meat ends up costing more.
