While many people are aware of the cruel reality of dog fighting operations, few know that dogs are not the only animals harmed during fights. Other animals, like kittens and pigs, are often used as bait in the corrupt dog fighting world.
The above video features Jude, a pig who was rescued from the side of the road after being tortured and used as bait in hog-dog fights. For those who are not familiar with the term, hog-dog fighting is a type of “entertainment” practiced throughout the Southern U.S. where pigs are placed in a ring with snarling dogs who have been trained to attack. To prevent the pigs from defending themselves, their tusks are cut off, and the results are brutal and bloody.
Thankfully, Jude was rescued in time, and as the video shows, he is beginning to enjoy a pig’s life and learning to trust humans again. His physical wounds appear to have healed, and he even eats from the hands of his Houston Mini Pig Rescue caretakers now!
Jude’s story is a beautiful example of the impact kindness and compassion can have on innocent lives. If you have fallen in love with this sweet piggy, please share this story with your friends and family!
