	Pigs like "112105" deserve better. Will you help them?   Dear Aaaaaaa, Like most pigs raised and killed for their flesh, "112105" was never given a name. When she was just a few weeks old, a tag with a number on it—112105—was punched through her ear and her tail was cut off, both without anesthetics. Pigs like her are then crammed into pens with little room to move and are forced to lie on wet, feces-covered floors. 112105's suffering was compounded after she sustained a ghastly injury that caused her internal tissue to protrude from her anus. Rather than being provided with any relief, she was apparently denied veterinary care and left to languish for days before she was hauled off to slaughter. Will you help us do more for animals like 112105 by making a generous gift to PETA today? Even as little as $5 can have a tremendous impact on our work. 112105's story isn't unique. From the moment of their birth to their violent slaughter, animals like her endure some of the worst suffering imaginable. At most pig-breeding factories such as the one visited by PETA's investigator, mother pigs are confined to crates so small that most animals can't even shift positions while nursing without having a metal bar or prong pressing into them. The constant pressure of the hard, slatted floor and metal bars rubbing against their bodies sometimes causes gaping ulcers and other painful ailments. If a sow manages to survive three or four years of this misery, she'll be prodded onto a truck bound for a slaughterhouse—the same fate as the dozens of piglets she's given birth to while confined. Whether in the pens of a "worldwide leader" in pig production or in the cages of an Oklahoma egg farm filled with dead and dying birds left to rot in towering piles of their own waste, PETA has documented again and again that routine, daily abuse is at the core of the meat, egg, and dairy industries. If you agree that this cruelty must be stopped, please make a gift right now and help protect pigs and other animals. Through powerful investigations and determined activism, PETA is making the world a kinder place for all animals. It was a PETA investigation that blew the lid off the Iowa facility where piglets' heads were bashed onto blood-covered concrete floors. Beatings and other horrific cruelty led to the first-ever convictions for the abuse or neglect of farmed pigs in America's largest pig-producing state. In the last year alone, we've provided more than a half-million free copies of our popular vegan starter kit, and our colorful protests and eye-catching billboards are helping more consumers than ever recognize the individuals who suffered for the bacon, eggs, and milk on their grocer's shelves. Now we need your help to do even more. Make a generous gift of just $5 today and power our vital work for pigs and all other animals. Thank you for your compassion and for everything that you do to help animals like Pig 112105. Kind regards, Ingrid E. Newkirk President
