Fresh off a stint asking politicians to “cut the pork” out of the federal budget, PETA’s plucky “pig” asked attendees of Iowa’s Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival not to cut the pork off pigs’ bodies.
When the “pig” implored, “I am not bacon,” the fans of fried fat stopped to listen and take our leaflets. I guess all that bacon grease hasn’t ruined their hearts yet.

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”
— Ingrid Newkirk, PETA Founder and co-author of Animalkind
