recent trip to Toronto, Canada to celebrate World Animal Day
with Jill Robinson, Founder and CEO of Animals Asia I first went
to a protest organized by Toronto Pig Save, a group founded by
Anita Krajnc. This wonderful grassroots organization is made up
of compassionate people who are devoted to saving pigs from
being tortured and slaughtered for food. They focus on Quality
Meat Packers, a slaughterhouse located near downtown Toronto,
the horrific and pungent stench of which fills the local
neighborhood. If residents and others could also hear the
unrelenting squeals of pain and bear witness to the incredible
inhumanity of killing these pigs I'm sure many would do
something to end the horrific practice of turning live sentient
pigs into ham, bacon, and sausage.  I like pigs. A few years ago
I had the great pleasure of meeting Geraldine, a rescued
potbellied pig, on a visit to Kindness Ranch,
