Dear John,

I can never unsee the cruelty I’ve witnessed as an undercover investigator.

During my most recent investigation, into a pig farm, I saw so many heartbreaking horrors. Pregnant pigs like Simone—a gentle animal I connected with and felt deep sympathy for—were confined to cramped gestation crates—metal cages only slightly larger than a pig’s body—barely able to lie down and bloodied from rubbing against the bars. Deprived of mental stimulation, these pigs were driven mad by boredom and stress. 

Simone repeatedly bit the bars of her cage, evidence of a complete meltdown.

Once her piglets were born, Simone was condemned to confinement in a “farrowing crate,” where she nursed them from behind metal bars.

Days later, her babies were taken from her, and she was immediately forced into a restrictive gestation crate to continue the cycle of cruelty. 

This is the heartbreaking reality of animal agriculture.

Simone needs you.

Your gift pushes the boundaries of our life-changing work for animals:

• Helps us expand our reach to millions more people via our vast social networks
• Supports the policy work that secures stronger legislative protections for farmed animals
• Fuels campaigns to convince companies to improve conditions for animals in their global operations

Thank you for being a voice for Simone. Together we will end the cruelty that sweet, intelligent, and loving pigs now suffer for their entire lives.
