What’s even grosser than pigs being beaten and tortured, dragged kicking and screaming (yes, they can scream) to slaughter and writhing in pain? Eating the mashed-up, gelatinous, sodium-laden results of their pain and suffering that end up in every can of SPAM (a Hormel product)!
This week’s giveaway is a special limited-edition, cheeky tee that literally gives SPAM the boot … er … high heel? It’s our “Vegetarians Against SPAM“ tee, and it’s here just in time to protest SPAM’s 75th anniversary.
If this shirt calls your name, leave a comment below telling us your fave thing about pigs, and we’ll pick our winner soon. Need some inspiration? Dig this!
Good luck!*
*The winner will be chosen at random from submitted animal-friendly comments in which the commenters tell us their favorite thing about pigs. Entries must be received by September 18, 2012. The winner will be chosen at random and notified on September 20, 2012.
Heads up! By commenting here, you’re acknowledging that you’ve read and you agree to our contest terms and conditions and our privacy policy, and you’re also agreeing to our collection, storage, use, and disclosure of your personal info in accordance with those policies as well as to receiving e-mails from us.

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'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!

I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.

I live in Texas so i am around pigs quite often. The things i love most are the fact that when you get to know them, they are almost like dogs. They are sweet loving animals. They can be a best friend if you dont want them for food.

Pigs are so adorable! We have some at school because of FFA, and their “owners” don’t always take care of them, so they get lonely a lot!
I like to go feed and pet them. Some people think they’re gross, but they’re really loving and sweet if you’re nice to them too.

Omfg where do I get started! The cutest thing ever about the snuggly little babies are when they run and their little multicolored ears flop around. I just want to hug them….hug them all O___O I want a piggy party, where little piggies re-unite and run around while eating corn. Don’t judge my imagination….I just love pigs

Despite common beliefs, pigs are actually very clean animals, as they try to keep their waste to one side of the pen. Pigs are also extremely intelligent and have an amazing sense of smell – some pigs have even been used in wars as mine sniffers! In addition to being really intelligent, pigs are also super cute!

What’s not to love? They’re cuddly and cute! They still manage to look adorable even when they roll in mud, I know if I was to roll in mud I wouldn’t look half as adorable as a little piggy <3

Pigs are probably my favorite animals in the whole world. The are super cute for one thing and they are also so smart. I honestly can not understand how some low-life person could beat, kill, then eat a poor innocent piggy. It hurts my heart to hear and talk about these things, but sadly it is true. We need to stop this before it is too late.
