Pigs

Burlington

Every day, 10,000 six-month-old pigs are forced into steel chambers and lowered into CO2 gas at Fearman’s slaughterhouse in Burlington, Ontario where Toronto Pig Save has held vigils. While people sip coffee and chat in a nearby café just steps from the slaughterhouse, the pigs' screams for help go unheeded. The cognitive dissonance is surreal and frightening.

Each one of these pigs was an individual with a unique personality, their own likes, dislikes, fears, desires, and a will to live. Look into their eyes and see them for who they are.
