💔🤬Posted @withregram • @graphic_vegan Fun fact: pigs ARE animals; farmed animals ARE animals. How ‘easy’ it is to turn a blind eye to animal cruelty, torture, neglect and suffering when you have something to gain from it. . Tail docking is a common practice in pig farms and causes extreme suffering to pigs. It is carried out without anaesthetic by farmers, often when the piglet is only 1-3 days old, to prevent pigs confined together from biting each other’s tails. This behaviour can result from boredom, frustration, disease, and lack of space and enrichment. Even when pigs have their tails cut off, biting of the remaining tail stump can still happen because the animals are so stressed by their unnatural environment. . And no, better welfare isn’t the answer. Abolition of ALL animal use and abuse is the only way forward. . 📷 Konrad Lozinski #funfacts #governmentlegislation #fharmers #crueltyfree #vegansofig #lifestyle #animallovers #change #kindness #vegansofinstagram #compassion #animalcruelty #minipigs #woke #moneymoneymoney #rescuedog #meateater #petpigs #pork #bacon #ahimsa #pig #animalrights #animalsofinstagram #dinnerideas #animalabuse #graphic_vegan https://www.instagram.com/p/CoRAdcPulRn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
I have a collection of pastels that I've had for about five years... so I thought I'd start using them! ________________________ #pig #pigsofinstagram #oinkdoodles #pastelart #chalkpainting #chalkdrawing #drawingwithpastel #softpastel #cutepigs #greenham #snoot #petpigs #drawingdaily #postingwhenever
House of Paws Piggy named Wilbert! This was from the last day of the Vets in Training Club at my son's school and he loves this pig, he didn't want him to go back home, lol! I saw it and of course got so excited because I love pigs and one of my favorite animals! I've always wanted a pet pig, and now my son wants one too!!! Only if we could make it happen, that'd be great! <3 #pig #pigs #piggy #piggys #fifthgrade #fifthgrader #fifthgradefun #vetsintraining #wilbert #wilbertthepig #houseofpaws #socute #twocuties #thesetwocuties #thesetwocuties❤️ #animallover #animalloversofinstagram #petpigs #newjersey #newjerseyevents #pigsofinstagram #pigsofnewjersey (at Mount Laurel, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/B42QQ4Yn02-/?igshid=139p1elg5687r
What a delightful surprise! 🐖🐖🐖 When Candlewick books sent me a copy of "A Piglet Named Mercy" (2019) by Kate DiCamillo, for consideration in the Read With River Book Club's Best of 2019 list, I was a bit hesitant, because although I was familiar with the Mercy Watson chapter books, I'd never read one. Well, I needn't have worried! "A Piglet Named Mercy" is absolutely adorable, and totally accessible as a standalone story. It's a sweet story of how pets (even and maybe particularly unusual ones) become family in the most unexpected ways, illustrated in heartwarming retro style by Chris Van Dusan. It's an obvious recommendation with no hesitation on my part at all. Thanks again to Candlewick for the great addition to my bookshelf! ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutskidsbooks #apigletnamedmercy #katedicamillo #katedicamillobooks #chrisvandusen #chrisvandusenbooks #petpig #petpigs #mercywatson #mercywatsonbooks #pigsofinstagram #bookstagram #childrensbookstagram #reading #growareader #readingbooks #childrenbooks #childrensbookseries #favoritecharacter https://www.instagram.com/p/B4yAPNqHO1J/?igshid=d79yq17fu62y
