No matter how pigs raised for food live on this Earth, in the end, most will be loaded onto a crowded truck—with hardly any protection from the weather and without any food, water, or place to go to the bathroom—and sent to the slaughterhouse. These pictures aren’t graphic, but they tell a story that will break your heart:
Most people have seen a livestock transport truck carrying animals on their way to slaughter.
But if you take a closer look, here’s what you’ll see: a life.
You’ll see these sad green eyes …
… these worried pale blue ones …
… and these terrified brown eyes:
You’ll see animals suffering from summer’s heat with no way to cool off …
… or “Please don’t make this my last day on Earth.”
Toronto Pig Save There’s no hope for the pigs pictured here, but you can change the fate of others like them. Just like dogs, cats, and humans, pigs can feel pain, fear, and sadness, and they don’t want to die.
