> I wanted to share with you probably the most joyful pictures

> I have ever seen.These pictures are a miracle. The mother

> should have drowned when she was left for dead by the pork

> industry that left her in a cage filling with flood-water.

> She should have been shot by the police who were targeting

> all lifestock found swimming in the overgrown river. The

> piglets should have been born into a barren concrete shed

> filled with noise and excrement. They should have been

> roughly taken from their mother before they were weaned and

> thrown into cramped concrete " growing " pens. They

> should have had their ears mutiliated, teeth cut, tails cut

> off and testes removed without pain relief. They should have

> been crammed into a transportation truck where many would

> arrive with broken bones or stomach ruptures. By the age of

> 6 months they should have been hung, slaughtered and carved

> up for meat.Instead, these beautiful babies were born into a

> warm barn with hay and blankets to snuggle into. They will

> be able to spend time bonding with the mother and siblings,

> and will spend their lives scampering around the green

> paddocks and waterholes of Farm Sanctuary. They will enrich

> the lives of every Farm Sanctuary visitor who discovers how

> affectionate and clever these animals are.While you look at

> these pictures, remember the millions of piglets who live in

> pain, fear and disease in factory farms. Animals who will

> never for one moment feel the sun on their backs or grass

> beneath their feet. Animals that will cower in the corner of

> their pens every time they hear approaching

> footsteps.http://floodrescue2008.blogspot.com/
