Blossom and her pig friends

Pigs love company, they love cuddles and interactions. They prefer to be clean and have clean beds. They defecate in one area and only wallow in mud when the sun is hot and bothersome. They talk continually to each other and anyone else that will listen. They are all individual, with unique likes and dislikes. A better place to relax, a welcome conversation, a certain place to be scratched, a favourite gate to control. The best ball to play with, their preferred human or other earthling friend. When you look and begin to see pigs for who they are, there is no hilarity to be found in the ‘bacon comments’. These folk have all learned quicker than dogs, they are cleaner, they play and talk just as much. They are loyal and trusting. There is no need to treat them with such cruelty. They understand death, they have fears, they understand meaning. There is no farrowing crate, tail mutilation or tooth removal that is done with any pigs best interest at heart within farming. Farming sees these wonderful folk as a profit and needs them to get fat quick in a small space with the least loss.

Pigs make wonderful, caring and protective parents, the boars playing a unique and fundamental role in the family structure. Protector and babysitter in one, and so observant and gentle. To say otherwise is to spread propaganda just treat pigs badly for profit. When is it ok to gas someone alive? to boil their lungs? Well it’s ok as long as you say it’s humane and people continue to pay for it to happen. Please choose kindly and wisely, there is no need for this to happen.

Blossom is our lovely pink lady. Her hair is so soft and she is so sweet, always ready for a cuddle. Always kind and gentle. If she hadn't found her way to our sanctuary, she would have been killed by thumping her head on a concrete floor at two weeks old. Her crime? To not have been strong enough to suckle properly as she couldn’t reach her mum in her prison of a farrowing crate. There is no kindness given to pigs within farming. No acknowledgement of their intelligence and character. Just horrible fake news to try and justify the mutilation and abuse. Blossom was riddled with ulcers and abscesses, she couldn't walk due to the deformities these caused on her limbs. She was unable to heal as she was given no care and treatment and kept in "standard approved" conditions. Lying in her own filth and that of her mum and siblings. Infected and weak she came to us, lost and grief stricken without her mummy. Her mum and siblings will already be human faeces now, without a thought the lives stolen. Blossom is our family now, precious and loved. Please stop eating other folk, it really isn't a nice way to behave.

We have many pigs here looking for sponsors, please get in touch. Help a pig to enjoy their life rather than paying for someone to be gassed.
