Pig Tales

Pig Tales by Iggy Oink – 3 – So here’s the thing about pigs – we are incredibly clean animals. We have light skin so we are susceptible to sun burn. We roll in the mud (just like an elephant) to protect our hides from the sun. And because we don’t sweat – we like to keep cool in the mud. If we have a big yard to live in we never soil our living space.

Pig Tales by Iggy Oink – 2 – So here is the thing about pigs – we are really, really smart. We are more clever than your dog and more intelligent than your 3 year old child. Not bad for a little pink, four footed being with a curly tail and 4 toes.

Pig Tales by Iggy Oink – My name is Iggy Oink – I was born in rural Ontario – a descendent from a long line of Oink ancestry on the family farm of Johnny and Becka Rutherford. Johnny is the fifth generation Rutherford boy on the land – and pigs have been their business for decades.

Animals Are The Victims Of Our Culture Of Cruelty

Animals Are The Victims Of Our Culture Of Cruelty

We Defend Our Positions Even When We Know We’re Wrong

Animals Are The Victims Of Our Culture Of Cruelty – Humans have an unrelenting arrogance about our place in the world – a misguided belief in our superiority and a need to dominate and destroy that is unmatched in any species. We savour our place at the top of the food chain and believe in our  right to “use” animals as a commodity.

The Tragedy Of Captivity – The Loss Of Dignity

Every Working Elephant Has A Wounded Soul And A Broken Heart – It cannot be otherwise because elephants are meant to roam with their herds for a lifetime – walking hundreds of miles over familiar, hallowed ranges – guided by instinct – ancestry and wisdom. Following the direction of a sage matriarch and mothered by loving sisters, aunts and cousins.

What Were We Marching For

What Were We Marching For

What Were We Marching For – Make no mistake – every person who got up on the morning of October 4, 2014 and put on his or her sneakers in 136 cities on 6 continents – knew what we were marching for! We wanted to be there – and we are committed to a common goal – saving elephants – rhinos and lions!

And So We Marched

And So We Marched

And So We Marched – In 136 cities on 6 continents to honour World Animal Day – October 4, 2014 – and to demand change, accountability and protection for animals all around the world. We roared for lions – elephants and rhinos – but we did not forget the plight of homeless dogs and cats – factory farmed animals who exist in dark, filthy barns – animals slaughtered in revolting religious festivals and those who are abused, chained, caged, confined, hunted and tortured. It was their day and we gave them a mighty voice.
