[MoonRiver]

snug as a bug at Farm Sanctuary!

[Hoyt]

1. Poor fella.

[MoonRiver]

2. Huh?

[joeybee12]

4. I say poor fella also...looks like he has cuts and marks

from being beaten...glad he's safe.

[MoonRiver]

8. He's safe for the rest of his life at FS! Actually could be a she. Don't want to be sexist!

But some of those marks might just be fat rolls.

[joeybee12]

9. True...they look kind of dark...if he/she is old...

That could explain it...but he/she certainly looks happy now!

[MoonRiver]

11. Some of the rescuees come from very hard conditions.

The gestation crates are the absolute worst.

[joeybee12]

14. Poor babies

[MoonRiver]

17. I know.

The Humane Society United States has pressured a lot of factory farms across the country to gives the animals more space, so it's getting better but still so sad.

25. looks like a boar to me

judging by the tusks coming in.

[MoonRiver]

32. Yes, I noticed that also. I do believe it's a he.

[Hoyt]

10. Wasn't being negative. He/she looks tired, but now resting. Glad he's safe.

[MoonRiver]

12. Understand.

I'm also so happy s/he is happy and safe.

3. Yeah, that blanket simply CLASHES with the straw.

Just kidding.

[MoonRiver]

7. He's not color coordinated!

OH NOOOOS!!

[sinkingfeeling]

5. What a cutie!

6. Pig in a blanket

Where have I heard that before?

[randome]

13. "This little piggy stayed home."

[Myrina]

15. ... can't see link, is that the one from Indy?

About a month ago an ENORMOUS pot-belly was captured living with a colony of feral cats on the outskirts of the city. No idea where he came from, nobody claimed him. He hung out at Animal Care & Control for a week or so until a rescue took him in.

[MoonRiver]

16. That piggy now lives in Farm Sanctuary, located in upstate New York.

They post pics of their rescuees all the time. Glad the pot-belly was rescued. How interesting that he lived with the cats!

[MoonRiver]

18. This is Gene Bauer with one of his rescuees.

He and his wife founded Farm Sanctuary, with locations in New York and California. They are saints, imo!

20. If they used an electric blanket the bacon would cook faster

[MoonRiver]

21. very funny

[flamingdem]

23. I love that picture!

Pigs are the new cats

[MoonRiver]

24. I really want one!

Instead I'll just have to visit Farm Sanctuary and play with them there.

[Worried senior]

26. So glad there are people

out there that are willing and able to provide refuge for these poor animals.

[patrice]

27. Blessings on them.

[AngryOldDem]

But then all sleeping hogs seem to.

Glad he's found a safe place.
