Three Ways to Help Pigs on National Pig Day!

Today is a special day for pigs because it’s National Pig Day! The intelligence of pigs is often underestimated, so today is the perfect day to set the record straight and remind your friends and family that pigs are just as important and deserving of happiness as cats and dogs are.

Here are our top three ways to help pigs:

  1. Share these cool pig facts with your family and friends:
    • Studies have identified that pigs use more than 20 oinks for different situations and that mother pigs sing to their young while nursing.
    • Pigs enjoy music and playing games such as soccer and are big fans of belly rubs.
    • When trained, pigs can learn their own names and sit for treats like dogs.
  2. Fake it with Smart Bacon or Hickory BBQ Riblets. Not only do pigs prefer not to be eaten, vegan meat is also tastier than ever. Don’t take my word for it—buy some and see for yourself! :)
  3. Share this fun video of pigs from Farm Sanctuary’s Animal Acres.

How are you going to help pigs today? Let us know in the comments section! :)

    Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.

    Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ

    I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!

    I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
