‘The Hidden Lives of Pigs’ (short documentary)
Pigs are highly intelligent, emotional and social animals. The conditions and treatment they endure in the food system are truly awful and shameful. This new 10-minute documentary from film-maker Tom Pickering (I Could Never Go Vegan) profiles these amazing animals. It does contain some short clips which are graphic, but if you eat bacon or other food products made from pig flesh, you have an obligation to understand the suffering that is behind what you eat.
Even if you don’t eat pigs, please still watch it, as these wonderful sentient beings need human allies to advocate for them, and this short film will surely galvanise you.
The film’s website includes some facts about pigs.
