After narrowly escaping vile abuse and certain slaughter, a pig destined to become a Mother’s Day meal is now recovering and will soon be on his way to an animal sanctuary in Florida.
After receiving some much-needed love and care at Rescue Ranch in Louisiana, Homer the pig will move to his permanent residence at Little Bear Sanctuary in Punta Gorda, Fla., where he will be with around 150 other animals, including over 70 rescue pigs.
“We just completed a brand new, five-acre section for pigs,” said Chris Vane, the sanctuary’s Executive Director. “It’s the perfect piggy paradise. There are hundreds of trees and shade, and a mud wallow.”
Originally purchased to be killed and eaten on Mother’s Day, Homer lucked out after witnesses saw two men pummel the hog-tied pig around his head and neck with a broom handle and set their two pit bulls to attack him, as he tried to flee in terror. When police arrived, they discovered the eight-month-old pig bleeding and scared. He had suffered a puncture wound on his hindquarters, a slashed rear foot, and a torn ear.
This is a happy ending for Homer, but he still deserves justice. The abuse and terror he had to go through is unacceptable. Sign Lady Freethinker’s petition to speak out against animal cruelty and ensure the perpetrators of this heinous crime are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

GO VEGAN!!!!! PLEASE!!! DEMAND AN END TO ANY ANIMAL ABUSE! HEAVY FINES FOR ANYONE ABUSING ANY ANIMAL…INCLUDING FARM ANIMALS.
I’m so happy that Homer can live out his life is peace and happiness. Homer deserves to feel joy and security after such a terrifying start to life. I am only sorry that for so many other animals, all they will ever know is brutality and murder. I encourage anyone disgusted by this to stop eating animals – this is the only solution to abolishing animal cruelty, by removing the structure that enforces and enables such cruelty to be accepted as “normal”.
Pigs are Beautiful, and intelligent. Thanks to the people who rescued & saved this poor piggies life from the cold blooded murder. THANK YOU …
Cruelty needs to STOP!

Glad to hear.
I’m glad the two petitions that I’ve signed that I know of the animals have had a positive outcome thank you Susan Schmitz
Just one of a few out of so many suffering in the name of GOD alias G R E E D. Not good enough.
At least this little Piggy won’t be going to market. He or she is lucky.

Ps: We need to include this episode in all children’s fairy tale bedtime stories when we read it out to them before their Ticket Dream. This includes why COWS DON’T JUMP OVER THE MOON ANYMORE,
Homer’s ending is a happy one, but the very best way you can help other pigs is to STOP EATING THEIR TORTURED FLESH. Please, please go vegan. You will be able to sleep at night knowing you aren’t adding to the suffering of sentient, intelligent beings like Homer.
I am so happy that Homer was rescued and us doing very well. 🐷🐖🐽❤❤❤
Stop this cruelty!!!
We’re very relieved and glad to learn of HOMER’S escape and forever home and care.
We all must stop the abuse and consumption of animals!!
I am saddened every single hour of every day with the abuse that living breathing beings have to go through day to day why the human form would want to ridicule afflict pain on a defenceless creature is beyond me . The only way I think we’ll get any where near close to prevent offenders is to afflict the same on the perpetrator maybe then they will stop…???
What an heartwarming story. A nice little piggy save in the hands of nice humans. But I know tomorrow will bring a story of animal abuse and torture. I’ll just have to keep signing petitions and hope and dream of a better future for our animal friends.
Agree.
PUNISH THESE BASTARDS TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW!!! Horrific Cruelty!!!
Tout à fait d’accord
