Every pig has an apple as they leave the lift, it's a personal apology from me!

Today instead of Spottie falling asleep next to her bowl she decided to take her bowl to bed & fall asleep with it there.
Pigs are so special, intelligent & emotional. Just big Labradors really. Society would be outraged if they were treated the way pigs are in farming

All of these pigs were going to be killed.
Would you save them if you could or if there was even a slight chance of saving them would you try?
I thought they were worth fighting for and I've been fighting for them ever since.
