Sunday, 17 August 2008. Current call for action: Ferkelprotest! Something I will feature from time to time on this blog is a link to a current pig rights-related action. The first one is the German Tierschutzbund e.V. action against the castration of male piglets without anaesthesia. This obviously subjects the little pigs to terrible pain. Every year, over 20 million male piglets are castrated without anaesthesia. On the website ferkelprotest.de. Are you not German? 23 August 2008 at 13:02. Links - Myth...

Blog of Swine: Two concrete examples of prejudice about pigs
http://blogofswine.blogspot.com/2008/08/two-concrete-examples-of-prejudice.html
Monday, 25 August 2008. Two concrete examples of prejudice about pigs. This is Eddy. He is currently the only pig staying at the Berlin animal shelter. Where he came after his family abandoned him because of "changed living conditions". This weekend the shelter participated in a local "family weekend" event, and invited the public to lots of fun activities and a market with good food and pet related goods. The weather was really bad, but quite a lot of people still came. But there was no bad smell at all!
