Animal rights advocates taking to the streets in Bentonville to protest Walmart pork suppliers.
The group Mercy for Animals brought a mobile billboard to town, to drive around the home office. The sign features a picture of a pig in a gestation crate, and says "Walmart Stop Torturing Pigs."
The group wants Walmart to adopt a new animal welfare policy, prohibiting pork suppliers from using the crates, which advocates say do not allow the pigs to walk, turn around or lie down comfortably.
