End the Annual Cruel Barnesville Greased Pig Chase

To support Georgia Animal Rights and Protection’s fight to end the event, you can  sign this online petition . Every September, the Barnesville-Lamar County Chamber of Commerce in Georgia hosts a greased pig chase.  For hours, one by one, terrified piglets are brought into an arena and thrust towards mobs of screaming children  who run after them grabbing and clawing to try to be the first one to "claim" the pig. After being roughly handled, the pigs are chased by children, teens, and young adults who pile on them with their full body weight. Pigs suffer emotionally and physically as they are  body-slammed to the ground and their limbs, ears, and tails, are yanked, bent backward, and twisted by the frenzied crowd. GARP documented the event workers slamming the pigs down, slapping them, and spitting on them in front of the crowd. Pigs are sensitive, intelligent, affectionate animals who experience physical and emotional harm at this event. Pigs instinct...

Rescue Pig Loves Her New Bed So Much That She Thanks Her Caretaker By Doing THIS…

Patricia the pig was so happy when her caretaker and her daddy brought new wood shavings in her pen. At first she didn’t know why he brought them, but when he opens the bad, she immediately perks up and begins rolling around like a little child! Her daddy brought not one, but two bags of wood shavings and she couldn’t contain her excitement! Residing in Santuario Gaia, Spain, Patricia’s life hasn’t always been this happy. The pink fluff was born on a factory farm and was soon abandoned there. She became paralyzed after her mom’s crate accidentally fell on her legs. Suffering from a spinal cord injury, the farm wanted to put her down, but the sanctuary stepped in to give her a second chance to life! Take a look at this adorable video! Patricia has her own wheelchair to help her move around and meet other animals in the sanctuary! Share away, people!

An adorable dachshund dog adopts a baby piglet

I like those videos that show us the amazing relation between dogs and other animals. This is a beautiful story that shows you how animals are kind with each other; I am totally amazed by what I am watching in this video. Meet Tink, a dachshund dog, and surprisingly, this dachshund dog is fostering a pig with her baby dachshund puppies. This dachshund dog is taking care of the baby pig and feeding him like her babies. The dachshund dog adopted the abandoned pig and raised him with her little ones. Surprisingly, the pig felt familiar to this dachshund dog, their photos are very touching that you can see in the video how she is hugging them, sleeping beside babies, this dachshund dog is the kindest dog I’ve ever seen. From these photos, you will see how this dog is so protective; this video is a really heartwarming one. Surprisingly, this story was made into a children book, the book is named “The Pink Puppy” written by Johanna Kerby. And as their owner said, the pig and Tink are very ...

Sheep... or pig? Either way, woolly Mangalicas hog attention

Your first look at a Mangalica (Mangalitsa in the U.K.) pig is probably going to lead to a second, and a third ... and more. That's because most of us have never seen a pig that also happens to be covered inwool.  https://www.instagram.com/tlepianka/ But thanks to social media, the Mangalica is fast becoming the cuddliest porker we ever did see. And we're squealing with delight! It's a Hungarian breed of pig, and as breeder Wilhelm Kohl told Modern Farmer , "If you treat them nicely, they'll become as tame as dogs — they'll follow you, play with you."  https://www.instagram.com/liamja_/ Of course, some regard pigs more as pork than as pets. Kohl calls the Mangalica the "Kobe beef of pork." Its meat, he says, is marbled with fat, making it more delicious that what most pig breeds yield. The Mangalica was originally developed in the 1800s and raised for its lard, but slowly lost favor as a pig of choice for farmers in Europe. The breed ...
