Dear Aaaaaaa, Pigs are social, intelligent animals who should be able to forage, enjoy the warmth of the sun, and bond with their loving families. But right now, most won't have the chance to do anything that's natural and important to them. Instead, they'll be mutilated without painkillers while still babies, confined for months to cramped pens slick with their own waste, and violently killed and dismembered to be sold as bacon, sausage, or chops. To make the biggest difference for pigs and other animals this year, we need the help of every committed member we can get, and we only have less than a week left to meet our 25,000-member goal before our January 30 deadline. Please help by renewing your 2019 PETA membership today. Pigs normally live for 10 to 12 years, but most who are killed for their flesh don't even survive long enough to see their first birthday. At just a few weeks old, they're torn away from their mothers, their tails are cut off, and tags are punched through their ears. The number on each tag is the closest that they'll ever come to being seen as an individual instead of a product. When pigs are large enough to be deemed "profitable" for slaughter—often when they're only 5 or 6 months old—workers use electric prods and beatings to cram the terrified animals into trucks so tightly that many can barely breathe. Denied water throughout their harrowing journey, even during scorching summer weather, their mouths foam from extreme thirst. In winter, it's not uncommon for patches of their skin to become stuck to the walls of frosty metal trailers. At many modern slaughterhouses, a pig is killed every three seconds, a pace so fast that some are still conscious when they're dumped into tanks of scalding-hot water intended to soften their skin and remove their hair. With the help of caring supporters, PETA is exposing—and stopping—the overwhelming cruelty that the meat, egg, and dairy industries are built on. In addition to persuading thousands to leave suffering off their plates, our eye-opening exposés have led to the closure of farms and slaughterhouses and to the first-ever convictions for the abuse or neglect of farmed pigs in Iowa—America's largest pig-producing state. PETA is dedicated to ending suffering wherever it exists—from the grisly trade in animals' skin to secretive laboratories, roadside zoos, and barren backyards. Together, we're driving down the demand for fur, angora, wool, and other cruelly obtained materials; getting animals out of laboratory cages; and providing lonely pups with shelter and affection. We can do so much more, but first we must meet our member-drive goal in the next four days. We need you to be one of 25,000 compassionate people who renew their PETA membership before January 30. Will you renew today? Thank you for your kindness and for all that you do for animals. Kind regards, | ||||||||||||||||||
