Mothers Day
How will over 200,000 mother pigs in Australia spend their Mother's Day? On factory farms... cruelly imprisoned.
As Mother's Day approaches please spare a moment to send an important message. Tragically for these animals, pregnancy and motherhood has become a cycle of suffering and misery. They need your help.
Imagine... a life without sunshine, fresh air and exercise. Imagine... having
only a cold hard floor to stand or lie on. Imagine... being a parent and not
being able to nurture, teach and interact with your young. Imagine... a life
without hope.
This is the life of a mother pig in a factory farm.
Watch this video and learn the truth.

Re: Mothers Day
Mothers day in the UK was a few weeks ago. We handed out some leaflets about "Britains hardest working mother" the dairy cow http://www.viva.org.uk/pdfs/mothersday_dl.pdf
Its a good idea to use mothers day to highlight the plight of farm animals.

Re: Mothers Day
You're right maisiepaisie, no doubt that's why the savebabe campaign brought the plight of mother pigs to our attention.

Re: Mothers Day
I did a bit on Mothers day too, using the viva leaflets. Next year I want to hopefully have a big street collection/stall on the day highlighting all of it.

Re: Mothers Day

Re: Mothers Day
Too right, Willow. The despair in the pigs’ eyes is so palpable

Re: Mothers Day
just the thought of this saddens me. it too makes me guilty that i have not given my mom anything for her special day, a simple mothers day poem would've made her happy. :(
