The Year of the Pig
Updated: Sep 30, 2020
Help celebrate the Year of the Pig by raising awareness about the very animal we’re honoring! Director, Allison Argo, collaborated with Chinese filmmaker Jian Yi, to create a short animated film about the inhumane conditions endured by pigs.
The story takes place in China, but it could unfold anywhere in the world. Although China is the world’s largest consumer of pork, most Chinese people have never seen a pig. This is because most pigs are kept in factory farms, some in high rises, packed to max capacity, waiting to be turned into pork. The film follows “Piggy” as he goes in search of pig friends, only to find them crammed together, panicked in a high rise factory farm. The film highlights the increased industrialization of pig farming, which leads to an even greater mistreatment of pigs and other farmed animals. In this Year of the Pig, the film encourages viewers to think about where their food comes from, and how it affects those we take for granted. Ironically, most of the pigs born during the Year of the Pig, won’t live to see the end of it. Pigs are commonly taken to the slaughterhouse at six to eight months old. Like Piggy’s owner, if we all wish hard and work for change, in 12 years, the next Year of the Pig, these unethical treatments could be eradicated worldwide.
The short premiered in China in February for the Lantern Festival, and is now available with English narration and English subtitles.

Me parece muy útil que los sitios informativos separen sus publicaciones según el horario de cada sorteo. Buscar anguila de la 9 pm resulta más sencillo cuando los datos están presentados de manera clara y permiten distinguir fácilmente la información correspondiente a la jornada nocturna.
The design of a website may attract attention, but its information is what helps visitors understand the service. The Dm Play Games page can be checked for details about its features and account options. I prefer platforms that make their rules, privacy information, and support details easy to locate. Visitors should also remember that online gaming involves uncertainty, so promotional statements about possible outcomes should never be treated as guarantees.
Berlin im Frühling klingt verlockend, aber bei wechselhaftem Wetter braucht man auch eine Indoor-Pause. Nach einem langen Spaziergang durch den Tiergarten entspanne ich gern mit ein paar kurzen Worträtseln auf dlenow.com, bevor es zum Abendessen weitergeht. Das passt gut zu einem entspannten Städtetrip.
As someone who manages gluten sensitivities while traveling, I appreciate restaurant lists like this. It reminds me of how creative dining has become. On a lighter note, fans of quirky word games might enjoy the jeff goldblum wordle as a fun daily brain break between meals. Thanks for the useful recommendations!
