It’s not exactly an experience you’d expect people to line up for, but PETA wants to give University of Rochester students a taste of what it’s like to be a pig confined in a factory farm.
Tomorrow, the organization’s youth-oriented arm, peta2, will set up an inflatable tent on the campus’s Wilson Quad. Inside the tent will be a sow gestation crate, which the organization says in a press release is so small that pregnant pigs can’t turn around or take two steps inside of it.
Students will also be able to watch the anti-meat industry documentary “Glass Walls,” and to receive samples of vegan food and pick up vegetarian-vegan starter kits. The exhibition is part of peta2’s national tour of college campuses.
The peta2 representatives will be on the quad from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

I take it we’re supposed to guess the date of this event since it wasn’t mentioned in the article?
Bill Benson,
Apologies for leaving out the date. The post has been corrected.
