| Protest of Factory Farming (December 2008): To illustrate the immense suffering and routine cruelty that pigs endure before they are made into ham and bacon, two pig sculptures--confined to metal stalls just as pigs on factory farms are--were displayed outside Save-A-Lot supermarket. The display is part of PETA's "Think Before You Eat" campaign. Click on the picture to view PETA's undercover exposé of a Midwestern pig farm that supplies Hormel. The investigation uncovered routine, intentional abuse: Investigators documented that workers kicked injured pigs, beat pigs with metal rods, and shocked pigs with electric prods--sometimes in the face. Workers killed piglets by slamming their heads against the floor. |

For information on how elephant "handlers" force these powerful animals to perform, click on the picture. |

| Tigers at the HOI Fair. These big cats exhibit the pacing behavior common to wild animals who have gone insane from the boredom and stress of captivity. Not much of a life for these majestic animals. |
