Pigs are playful and friendly, and, like dogs, wag their tail when they are happy - the only difference is that they are smarter, considered one of the 5 most intelligent species in the world.
Pigs suffer in the hands of corporations: females are artificially inseminated, spending their entire pregnancy (16 weeks) in a small metal cage that measures roughly the same length as the pig; this causes extreme stress as they can not even turn around.
The piglets are separated from their mother after 4 weeks, after which she will be inseminated again. After years of depression, sadness, and pregnancy, the mother is sent to slaughter, killed by slitting her throat or by gassing in a CO2 chamber.
The piglets have their teeth clipped and tails docked - without the use of any anesthetic - to reduce incidents of cannibalism. The cycle, then, starts again.
Luckily, these pigs were rescued and will not be joining their 1.5 billion fellow pigs who are killed annually by the greedy industry.
Can the taste of your sausage or bacon sandwich justify the exploitation, abuse, and death of someone who never wants to die?
You can decide what to buy, they don't have a choice.
