Manchester Pig Save

Erecting glass walls at slaughterhouses, encouraging a plant-based lifestyle and bearing witness to the pigs during vigils.

Latest vigil with new faces …..and cake!

July 15, 2016 By Manchester Pig Save 3 Comments

After the rain of the previous vigil, we were delighted to get such a strong turnout for this morning’s event, plenty of new faces and, as seems to have become normal, there were quickly vegan cakes being circulated (is 7am too early for cake?). It wasn’t long before the first of the trucks started to arrive, loaded to the brim with innocent victims. We’re never sure how many pigs are on each truck, but we estimate at around 250; 250 innocent lives, each an individual each possessing the same desire to live, to love and to be loved. The drivers weren’t for stopping outside Tulip, so we moved down to a nearby traffic light junction, where the trucks would stop naturally at the lights, giving us an opportunity to show the pigs some affection without causing any problems for drivers or those attending the vigil. Unfortunately, the drivers weren’t too happy with this either and did all they could to stop us from bearing witness to the suffering of these pigs. Fortunately, their efforts were in vein and we did get to see some of the pigs, to interact with them and show them that somebody cares. Those few previous moments mean so much, to us and to the pigs. A rare moment of human kindness is the only one they will ever experience in their short lives and it is bittersweet that it comes in their final moments on this earth, which has been so cruel to them. We’re doing all we can, but of course it isn’t enough.

Until next time, we keep on fighting, we keep on trying and we keep on speaking out…

Start Your Own PigSave!

As the Save Movement grows, we are always keen to hear from groups of like-minded activists who would like to start their own group. The best starting point is always to attend a vigil near you, if this is possible. If there is not a save group near you and travelling is difficult, then we will happily help you to get set up, either via a face to face meeting, or Skype video calls. Either way, we’re here every step of the way to help you get started. So far, we have groups started in Essex, … [Read More]

Who Are We

Who are we?

One of the most fascinating things about the Save Movement and indeed Manchester Pig Save is the wide range of people which it has attracted, all with a shared passion for animal liberation and activism. Many of the people who come to our vigils speak of feeling isolated before, as outsiders in a non-vegan world, looking on in horror at the ‘normality’ which surrounds them, which seems anything but normal to them. We have people of every age, ethnicity, gender and preference attending our … [Read More]
