Truck full of piglets over turns on highway
#1
A truck carrying over 2000 piglets was in an accident and over turned. Hundreds of piglets were killed and many more escaped.
As usual, there are way to many animals on one truck. They had to have been crowded into small crates. For so many to have been killed they are not being transported very safely.
When you look at the video of the people recapturing the piglets you can tell they just don't care. These are baby animals that have been in a frightening accident, but they are swinging them around by one leg with no regard for their comfort or for comforting them.

The poor little piglets look confused and uncertain.

Sadly their future isn't too good anyhow.

Oh this is so sad. They are treating them as so much cargo, not as sentient Beings who have just been through trauma and must be injured and terrified. This sort of treatment of animals breaks my heart to be honest.
I am so very sorry.

These poor piglets are to suffer a triple whammy: the accident and its trauma, being manhandled by brusque and uncaring workers, and finally a terrifying death at the abattoir. Oh, humans at work again....

The way they treat animals at accident sites is horrifying. Not one of the pictures I could find showed anyone treating the piglets kindly.

Of course you are right, at no point have these piglets been treated kindly and at no point in their future will they be treated kindly.

I hope at least some of them escaped. Maybe they can find a life out there.
