Dear Friend,

Please take a moment to meet Tiffany who would appreciate your donation of $25 today!

Tiffany never knew the warmth and comfort of another pig. She grew up in a concrete cage, her knees rubbed raw from the harsh floor.

She never saw the light of day. She never even saw straw!

Tiffany only left a cage when researchers sedated and shoved a tube down her throat so that they could look at her digestive system. You see, Tiffany lived in laboratory. She was one of the “test subjects.”

A volunteer – someone just like you - forwarded us a plea to save Tiffany when the 6-mos-old piglet was scheduled to be killed. We immediately called the out-of-state laboratory and negotiated her release.

Today your $25 donation will provide Tiffany with two bales of straw bedding for a month.

After a 15-hour drive from the facility to Animal Place, we unloaded Tiffany from the trailer and introduced her to a cozy barn filled to the brim with soft bedding. At first she did not know what to do with the pile of straw. We had to show her how to make a nest, but once she got the hang of it, she made a big bed and burrowed herself to sleep.

A $25 gift guarantees that Tiffany’s food bowl will be filled each day with pig pellets, apples, melons and grapes!

Tiffany has not known much kindness in her short life. When I first met her, she was too frightened to approach my outstretched hand.  She huddled in the corner, shivering. Her reaction broke my heart.

For the first few days we gave Tiffany privacy to allow her time to grow accustomed to her new home. But on the third day she nosed my pant legs while making soft grunts. I then knew she was ready for more physical attention.  Tiffany has quickly learned the pleasures of belly rubs, ear scratches and the joy of a juicy cantaloupe!

Please ensure that Tiffany and her pig friends are warm and satiated with your donation this January.

 

With compassion for all life,

Kim Sturla
Executive Director & Cofounder
