A Motherless Day for Death-Bound Animals

The pigs you see on this Mother’s Day evening are usually around 4-6 months old, and most have never had the opportunity to experience closeness with their mothers. Mothers regardless of species should have the opportunity to bond with their children, but in factory farms that is often not the case. It is likely these pigs were raised in environments that we could not fathom. Many times they are raised in dark warehouses without windows in confined spaces. They nurse from their mothers through apparatuses called gestational crates which restrict the ability of the piglets to get close to their mothers. Hopefully one-day practices like these will be a part of history, but for now this is their reality. Thank you to all of the activists that came out on this holiday to comfort those who are not as fortunate as most of us were.

Slaughterhouse and animal agricultural representatives are invited to respond at any time.

On this night Animal Alliance Network had special guest Jonny Juicer attend their vigil. He specifically wanted to use his platform to help raise awareness about what is happening to these animals. He explained that when he attended his first pig vigil a couple weeks prior that it reminded him of why he went vegan in the first place after watching the amazingly powerful film Earthlings. He has since found his niche showing people how to eat and drink a healthy vegan diet. He believes that a clean plant-based diet can help prevent and cure diseases. His mother is a perfect example of the power of diet because she was able to reverse heart disease by eating a whole foods plant-based diet. Use your platform to show people the truth like Jonny. A few clicks and you can help save these poor creatures!

Attend a weekly vigil with Los Angeles Animal Save on Sundays and with Animal Alliance Network on Wednesdays.

Connect with your local Save Movement chapter to attend a vigil and get involved.
