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.

44. I appreciate this guide to UP Land Record because it explains the subject in an accessible way. People who are unfamiliar with digital property services may find the information helpful when learning about land records and related online facilities.
Events like the Joe Brazil Legacy Music Fest are a great reminder of how deep St. Louis talent runs. Between sets, I got hooked on krillion, a free trivia game where only uncommon answers score, seven prompts at 25 seconds each. Perfect quick brain break while waiting for the next act.
I found this article useful while learning about SSO ID Login Rajasthan. The instructions are presented clearly, and the information is easy to understand without technical knowledge. It is helpful when online service guides explain the process straightforwardly. Thanks.
As a longtime Nintendo fan, I grew up on reflex-heavy games like Punch-Out!! and F-Zero, so I still love anything that sharpens timing. Lately I have been using the okiaimx game in my browser to keep my reactions and crosshair control sharp between big releases.
Classic watches are fascinating, though I often associate them with old-school elegance. The article mentions attention to detail, which reminds me of how a Guess The Song sharpens your ear. Both reward patience and observation. Does the blog cover quartz versus mechanical movements? I'd love to read more on that.
