These stories, along with the rescue stories about our friends at Farm Sanctuary, champion pigs as individuals—not meat. Some are spunky, some are mischievous, others shy, but all are sentient and emotive beings who deserve lives free from harm.
On National Pig Day, held annually on March 1st, we celebrate our porcine pals and pay homage to the millions of pigs still slaughtered for meat in the United States each year. Each is “some pig” in his or her own way: It’s simply up to us to pay attention.
