A Very Good Pig
Today, I'm thinking about pigs.
I just finished reading Sy Montgomery's memoir, The Good, Good Pig, which tells about her experiences adopting, raising, and befriending a pig named Christopher Hogwood. This little piglet--the runt of the litter--grows to 750 lbs. and lives to be 14 years old. This is a wonderful book for anyone who understands the intense bond that can form between a human and an animal.
I also want to let you know about an amazing organization I just learned about: The Pigs Peace Sanctuary. This is a sanctuary for pigs who are abused, neglected, unwanted, or for those who escape slaughter. Currently, they have around 200 pigs (!!!) plus horses, a pony, sheep, chickens and other rescued animals.
Here's their website: http://pigspeace.org/main/index.html
The sanctuary is located in Stanwood, Washington, about 45 miles north of Seattle. They are always in need of volunteers, donations, and currently, they have a wish list of simple materials and food supplies.
Pigs are Friends, Not Food.
