This post discusses the recent uncovering of cruelty at a Piggery in South Australia, reflecting on the gentle nature of pigs, their intelligence, sentience and capacity for connection, and the industry that hides the cruel practices. We are introducted to Mocha the pig, who was rescued by Furever Farm Animal Sanctuary, and whose story is a prime example of the inhumane treatment inflicted on these beautiful, smart animals, and the irreversible damage that is done to their bodies and minds, in the name of farming.
