P.S. Help protect pigs like Sprinkles from abuse by signing our Petition for the Pigs today! When you're done, please ask all your friends to do the same.
This photo, taken by Karol Orzechowski, captures our friend Sprinkles pausing to survey his domain in the early light. Born on a factory farm, Sprinkles once faced a life of confinement in a crowded, dark and filthy warehouse. Now safe at our New York Shelter, this winsome pig emerges from the barn every morning ready to relish another day of space, sunshine and fresh country air.
