Help give pigs a life worth living

Pigs are intelligent, sensitive animals. Yet they’re being subjected to appalling cruelty on factory farms.

A mother pig on an intensive farm can give birth at less than a year old. Caged so tightly she can’t turn around, she can feed her piglets but not care for them. Three weeks later, they’ll be taken away forever.

For the rest of her life, she’ll be impregnated and forced to give birth again and again. 

When her body gives out, she’ll be killed at just three years old.

For her piglets, the misery is only just beginning. Their teeth will be filed down, and their tails cut off – all without pain relief. Then they’ll be packed together in filthy conditions and pumped with antibiotics to stop infections. No animal should have to endure these horrors.

With your help, we can stop this cruelty and give farmed pigs decent, healthy lives.

Piglet 83739: A story of suffering

From the minute they’re born, piglets like 83739 are treated as living pieces of meat. At just five days old, this baby pig will be ripped from his mother. His tail will be brutally cut off, with nothing to numb the agony.
 

Then his teeth will be ground down in an excruciating, terrifying process. Afterwards, he’ll be dropped back with his mother, who’s caged so tightly she can’t comfort him. At three weeks old, he’ll be taken away from her forever.
