Let's hope they get what they deserve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Darth Vader   10 #15 Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) So basically, the RSPCA Freedom Food label means absolutely nothing.  It's all the more sickening, as pigs are so intelligent.  Pigs rank #4 in animal intelligence behind chimpanzees, dolphins and elephants. Piglets learn their names by two to three weeks of age and respond when called.  http://www.veganpeace.com/animal_facts/Pigs.htm Edited April 30, 2012 by Darth Vader Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Moomac   10 #16 Posted April 30, 2012 Is there a way to sign the petition without seeing the footage? I can't bear seeing the film. I cancelled my DD to RSPCA yesterday and will donate to another animal charity run locally. The RSPCA have fallen short on their promises about animal welfare on one too many occasions IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

You don't have to watch the video, as you have to click 'play' to watch it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Kerrangaroo   10 #19 Posted April 30, 2012 Why pigs and not any other animal?  Probably misunderstood your question but no animal should be subjected to cruelty or abuse it just so happens that Pigs are the focus in this link.

And they've been treated horrifically here.  Hopefully, with our eye on this something will be done about it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
