Pig Tales by Iggy Oink – 72 – Iggy Oink would like you to think about the life of a breeding sow for just a few moments. Most sows are confined in gestation crates for about 5 years. The length of time it takes to totally deplete their bodies. They are then backed out of the crate – put of a truck – and send to slaughter.

Pig Tales by Iggy Oink – 71 – Iggy Oink would like you to read a great post by Orla Mannion (Iggy has a secret crush on Orla – sorry Chris Sharon Edwards – you have to share this little Peter Pan Pig).

ABH – Inspirational Sayings – March 2015 – If there is one thing that I know – it’s that all people who love animals have their hearts nicked or broken every day. But then we focus on the task at hand – which is creating awareness to help them – and get back to doing the job that stirs our passions and helps to correct human wrongs!

Pig Tales by Iggy Oink – 69 – Iggy Oink would like you to know that pigs are smart. When they arrive at a slaughterhouse they instinctively know what is happening.
