The Brutal Lives of Mother Pigs

The Brutal Lives of Mother Pigs

Mother pigs on meat farms endure the most brutal lives. Their existence is so miserable and cruel that it can be challenging for us to understand the severity of what they go through.

Watch this video to get a glimpse into the lives of mother pigs, from the moment they are born until the day they are sent to slaughter. This video contains no graphic violence, only the daily lives of these miserable mother pigs.

After watching this video which contains footage of real mother pigs on various meat farms worldwide, it becomes clear that mother pigs, used for breeding piglets, are likely among the most miserable and tormented animals on Earth.

Every bite of meat or pork supports an industry that perpetuates this cycle of cruelty. By acknowledging the truth and taking action, we can make a difference. Please, choose compassion by replacing meat with plant-based options such as legumes, tofu, vegetables, etc.

Together, we can create a future where mother pigs and all animals are spared from such brutal lives.

Join the millions of people across the world who have decided to stop eating animals. To get help with your first steps, join Challenge 22.
