Help Ziggy and Piggy Find Stability

Nearly two years ago, a customer walked into a slaughterhouse with a pregnant sow. She gave birth shortly after arriving. At the customer’s request, the mother was killed for meat, and as regulations require, the newborn piglets were placed in the offal barrel. (Offal barrels hold discarded organs and byproducts to be reused as feed.)

But the piglets survived.

Flying Pigs Sanctuary received a call from a woman whose son worked at the slaughterhouse and couldn’t walk away from those tiny souls. They were welcomed at Flying Pig Sanctuary. They bottle-fed them around the clock, keeping them warm and safe.

Flying Pigs Sanctuary is caring for them and helping to get them vet care until they are healthy enough to go to one of the best pig sanctuaries in the country.

In the meantime, they’ve been a wonderful addition to their land—clearing weeds, rooting through the pasture, and living as pigs should. But as much as they love them, their space and resources are limited, and they want to ensure they have the best possible future.

Flying Pigs Sanctuary is caring for many pigs and desperately needs your help to keep doing so. If you can donate any amount, we would be so grateful that you helped provide Ziggy and Piggy with the best care possible. Thank you.
