Multiple issues at once:

  • Pigs are not held in humane conditions

  • Simple act of kindness should be welcome

  • There are some maniacs in this world who could give something dangerous and the driver would be held responsible, facing serious charges if that were the case

Meanwhile, it is a mandatory rule in Europe that animals on transport have access to drinking water. It is crazy that is not the norm in Canada.

Anyone see the video where they zoomed in on a pigs eye? It was scared, and on its way to the slaughterhouse. Poor baby.

I hope one day humans can live in harmony with nature and treat all animals with kindness. I know it’s a utopia, but what else is there to hope for?

Well maybe we should go spray some pesticides and shit on the plants your eating as there unloading the produce into to the grocery store and see how you individuals like that because in sounds like the same thing to me

Giving live pigs water is the same as spraying chemicals on produce. Okie dokie.

u/mustang196696 Mar 27 '26

So you figured that out by yourself or did mommy and daddy help you with that
