Recordist's notes

sows reared outdoors on an industrial scale in bare sandy soil continually, audibly chewing on stones which they drop and play with in their empty metal troughs; abnormal behaviour expressing frustration with nothing to forage, a way of managing stress and coping with a poor diet. https://sophiestandford.com/
