I was wondering what everyone thinks about the advertising/sale of pregnant sows?

If somebody has no intention of keeping the sow why mate her??

Re homing any animal causes a certain amount of stress, but rehoming a pregnant sow causes even more stress to both mother and babies, and is more likely to result in complications for both the sow and their young.

I feel strongly that pregnant sows should not be sold, does anyone else have views on this??
