A life of abject misery...You didn't know did you?
|
Nor did you know that if you purchase factory-farmed pork,
ham and bacon products you are supporting cruelty to animals. Those responsible
don't want you to know...
Any pork products which have not been
labelled free range or organic have been produced in a factory
farm.
A recipe that's hard to swallow - watch the video
Remember ‘Babe’,
the cute piglet that became a star and won the hearts of movie
goers around the world? The movie’s special effects helped
people to see pigs in a different light – as the intelligent,
curious, loveable and affectionate animals that they are. Animals
Australia has launched savebabe.com as this unique species urgently
needs your help. They need you to know the truth - so that you can make
informed and compassionate choices when you shop. Have you ever seen an
advertisement for ham, pork or bacon that showed you how these intelligent
animals are ‘farmed’? No? Want to know why? Those who profit
from you buying their products know that the truth would horrify you. They know that their profits rely on keeping you ignorant.
Peer into an intensive piggery and you will see row after row of pregnant
females in tiny metal stalls barely able to move. In the next shed are
hundreds of mother pigs, their bodies encircled by metal bars which stop
them from interacting with their young – piglets just like Babe.
You didn’t know? Next time you see a clever advertising campaign
promoting ham or pork or bacon products, think about what this industry
is not telling you and why.
Even pig industry websites (www.sowstalls.com.au and
www.pigwelfare.com.au) created to combat the savebabe.com campaign
aren't game enough to show you a single photograph of a sow stall
or farrowing crate. To do so would allow you to imagine what
these animals endure.
Hope for these animals rests with shoppers. We each have enormous power
to create change through what we select and what we leave on supermarket
shelves. Please help savebabe.com, and ensure that light is shone on the
plight of these sensitive and intelligent animals.
Your power as a consumer rests not in what you buy, but in what you choose not to buy.
