Pig Tales by Iggy Oink – 34

Pig Tales by Iggy Oink – 34 – Iggy Oink is asking you to think about the life of a pig or piglet in a factory farm. It is dull – noisy – smelly – dense and frightening. There is never any fresh air or sunlight. When we get to the age of slaughter – they drive us out of the barns and onto big, rumbling trucks.

Pig Tales by Iggy Oink – 33 – Iggy Oink is asking you to think about what a pig experiences when he or she is driven out of a filthy transport truck – down a kill chute and onto the killing floor of a slaughterhouse. This happens all over the world. The animals can smell the fear and the blood – they hear the death screams of the pigs ahead of them and they see the cruelty of the killing. They are aware. They know what is coming and they are afraid.

Pig Tales by Iggy Oink – 32 – Iggy Oink is here to remind us that pigs are very smart! In fact next to peoples – chimpanzees – dolphins – elephants – bingo – it’s us. Smarter than your dog and your three year old kid.

Pig Tales by Iggy Oink – 31 – Iggy Oink is very sad whenever he thinks of piglets and all the other land animals and birds who die – having never really lived. When you read the “ages of slaughter” – you might want to think of your own children and wonder how you would feel if your child’s life was stolen at such an early age!

The Power Of Animal Activism

Our Common Goal – I post Heart Beats For Change every day because I know they make a difference. People add comments and share them all the time. This year over the holidays I received this note from a Facebook friend – (you know who you are) – who is also a committed animal activist with a strong, gentle heart. Thank you.

Pig Tales by Iggy Oink – 30 – Iggy Oink is very sad whenever he thinks of piglets who happen to be born as the runt of a litter or with a small deformity of some sort. They aren’t deemed to be worthy of life and are NOT wanted by the farm. What to do?

Pig Tales by Iggy Oink – 29 – Iggy Oink is reminding you how a Mother pig lives out her life in most factory farms – in a gestation crate. Her only value is in her ability to get pregnant – have a litter of piglets and get pregnant again. When she can no longer “produce” babies for the farm – she is killed.
