Piggy Sue
Piggy Sue is a 5year old ex factory farmed pig, she has spent most of her life breeding in cramped cages with no room to even turn around.Until she was liberated Piggy had never been outside or even seen grass.
Pigs a commonly factory farmed all over New Zealand. “My heart broke when we entered the intensive pig farm. The screaming and stench of 10,000 captive pigs was more shocking than I could ever have anticipated. I was wearing a hidden camera and microphone. I had agreed to go undercover for Sunday for two reasons: to save one pig and to help expose an entire industry based on greed and cruelty. When five-year-old Piggy Sue arrived home at our 13 acre sanctuary she could barely walk and was emotionally switched off. The sadness in her eyes had matured from years of torment. Now just two weeks later she frolics and plays, she is an intelligent, curious and vital being. Thank you SAFE for helping Piggy Sue to find freedom. I only hope that New Zealanders have seen through our eyes and fight alongside us to achieve this much needed change in legislation.” Carolyn Press McKenzie
Sadly in January 2012 Piggy Sue passed away peacfully in her sleep – She was such a courageous pig and will be dearly missed.
