I am a member of the Farm Sanctuary and actually visited their sanctuary in Watkins Glen NY a couple of years ago. They are just a fantastic organization. I especially loved their pig heaven! If I did not have to battle my sons I would be Vegan. At least we do not eat mammals.

here is a wonderful video of piglets at play....

The never-before-released video below featuring our very own Sprinkles and Tim playing in the mud is too cute and funny not to share. These sweet pigs have since grown into two very big boys, but the joyful spirit they exuded as tiny piglets is still alive and well today. Last winter, Sprinkles came to us as a nervous, skinny little piglet. After a rough start to life on a factory farm, he was terrified of the world for good reason. Found on a smaller farm in upstate New York, Tim was the runt of his litter and suffered from an injured foot and a large hernia. If he hadn’t been rescued, he would have died slowly from neglect.

Alone, these little pigs were timid and sad. And though they warmed up to us with a little time, they each still longed for the company of another pig. Lucky for them, we had the exact medicine they needed to pull through and introduced the two as soon as we could. Bonded within moments, Sprinkles and Tim received one of the greatest gifts any animal could ask for — friendship to last a lifetime. As you’ll soon see in the video, the two were unstoppable from the time they met. Still every bit as confident and happy as young adults, Sprinkles and Tim remain the best of friends.
