Bert, The Little Piglet Who Could
- 01
- Aug
This is Bert. He would have been yet another victim of animal agriculture, if not for his brave actions. Finding a gap in the fence, Bert made a break for it into a neighbor’s yard. He was accompanied by a sibling. The neighbor called animal control, which confiscated both piglets. Bert’s brother perished, before we could help.
Bert requires around-the-clock care. Animal care director, Hannah, gets up every two hours to feed him and has even taken to sleeping with him to ensure he stays warm. Piglets are unable to regulate their body temperature. To be honest, we waited as long as possible to share Bert’s story. He arrived frail, suffering from seizures caused by poor temperature regulation. Only after two weeks in our care have we seen the kind of improvement needed to share his survival.
If you would like to help Bert become a healthy 800-pound adult, donate toward his care. A $15 gift is all it takes to help Bert thrive. More importantly, if you believe Bert’s life is important and that he deserves sanctuary…go vegan!
Once he recovers, he will join a herd and live out his days at our sanctuary.

This is for Bert’s care. Have any attempts been made to rescue the rest of the piglets?
Thank You ALL for caring for animals…. Your love and care for them is so important to me, as I love and care about them… I’d of never heard Robert the Piglets story, had I not received this email… Thank You for caring……
Please help Bert.
He is so darn cute! Thanks for all your hard work!
Thank you for helping all the animals especially pigs. They are as intelligent as dogs and have even been known to save farmers from fires. Yet, they are treated so poorly. No respect. Thank you for sharing Vert’s story. Go Bert!!!!
Only because of people like you, do I still have hope for humankind. I thank you with my whole heart for having the compassion and the intelligence for saving these innocent animals from certain tortures and death! I love you, I love you, I LOVE YOU!
