Pigs Enjoy Music
Pigs are sensitive, intelligent individuals who, like humans, enjoy games and music. Mother pigs even sing to their babies.
They value their lives, just like us, and they don’t want to be turned into bacon.
‘Happy’ Pig Farms? A Big Fat Porky Pie
Most of the 10 million pigs killed for their flesh in the UK every year are crammed into barren concrete pens and deprived of fresh air and sunshine.
Farmers routinely subject pigs to painful mutilations, such as cutting off their tails and grinding down their sensitive teeth, usually without painkillers.
At abattoirs, the animals are hoisted upside down by their back legs and their throats are cut – often without effective stunning.

Eating Sausages Is Linked to Health Issues
Studies show that even moderate processed meat consumption increases one’s risk of bowel cancer. Conversely, vegans are less likely to suffer from heart disease, certain types of cancer, diabetes, and strokes.
Meat Production Costs the Earth
The United Nations Environment Programme has called meat production the world’s “most urgent problem” on account of the huge amounts of greenhouse gases the industry produces, which contribute to the climate catastrophe.
On the flipside, vegan diets generate 75% less climate-heating emissions than diets containing more than 100 grams of meat a day.
