This Easter:Expose The Horror Behind Ham

[Guest guest]

*Please forward widely*

 

Join Viva! and expose the public to the horror behind holiday hams before

Easter which is on March 31.

 

During the spring & summer of 2001, I investigated pig factory farms. What I

saw will burn in my mind and heart forever -- the boredom of the sows in the

gestation crates and the piglets in the 'nursery,' all alone except for the

flies that covered them. Then there was the pig who died as I was

videotaping the filthy living conditions and another whose leg was so badly

injured he had to struggle to lie down.

 

I looked at these pigs as I videotaped them and promised them that the

suffering they endured would not be in vain. And I would make sure I did

what I could to expose their plight. We are trying to do that, but we need

your help!

 

Honeybaked Ham locations, as well as regular grocery stores, will be busy

with people buying their holiday dinners days before Easter. Let's get them

to think about the animals they are eating. Even 2 friendly leafleters at

each location can reach a lot of consumers.

 

Viva! will send you posters, and leaflets to hand out to the public about

pigs on factory farms. Just send us an e-mail at whenpigscry or

a call at 530/759-8482 and give us your mailing address and let us know

which city you are covering.

 

Honeybaked Ham stores are located around the country (300 stores total - for

a partial listing see below). You can check http://www.honeybaked.com

http://www.honeybaked.com to find your state and nearest location. If you

don't have a Honeybaked Ham near you, don't forget your local grocery store!

 

Honeybaked Horror makes their money off the suffering and death of these

wonderful and intelligent creatures. Let's make sure the cries of these pigs

are heard.

We always encourage people to have information on other animals killed for

food on hand.

 

For the pigs,
