Dear Friend,
"112105" was never even given a name.
Instead, when this sensitive, intelligent piglet was just a few weeks old, a tag with a number on it—112105—was punched through her ear and her tail was cut off, both without anesthetics.
After being mutilated, pigs like 112105 are crammed into pens and forced to stand on wet, feces-covered floors. And 112105's suffering grew worse still: When she sustained a ghastly injury that caused her internal tissue to protrude from her anus, she was apparently denied veterinary care and left to languish for days before being prodded onto a crowded truck and hauled to a slaughterhouse.
Her terrifying final moments were filled with the screams of other pigs and the smell of blood from those killed and dismembered before her.
This cruelty must be stopped. Please make a gift of $5 or more right now to help animals like 112105.
112105's story isn't unique. From the moment of their birth to their violent slaughter, animals like her endure some of the worst suffering imaginable.
Mother pigs on massive farms can spend years confined to crates so small that most can't even shift positions while nursing without having a metal bar or prong pressing into them. Some develop gaping ulcers and other painful ailments—and ultimately, they'll face the same grisly death that dozens of their piglets endured.
PETA observers on farms have repeatedly documented that routine, daily abuse is at the core of the meat, egg, and dairy industries—and we're determined to stop it.
Will you help by giving even just $5 right now?
Through eye-opening investigations and determined activism, PETA is making the world a kinder place for pigs and other animals.
Every year, we provide more than a half-million free copies of our popular vegan starter kit to help diners embrace a compassionate way of eating, and our colorful protests and powerful billboards are helping thousands recognize and respect the beautiful individuals who suffered for the flesh, eggs, and dairy milk on their grocer's shelves.
Now, we need people like you—who agree that no animal should endure the same short life and painful death as 112105—with us so that we can achieve even more.
Donate at least $5 today and power our vital work for pigs, cows, and all other animals in need.
Thank you for your compassion.
Kind regards,
Ingrid E. Newkirk
President
