Pig postcards.
 Our pig postcards were produced a while ago but are still sadly as relevant
today.
The postcards feature the phrase - Farm animal regulations in
the UK are famously strict, a fourteen stone pig is entitled to 0.65square
meters of living space. Does that sound comfortable to you?
The postcards are a great way to remind friends or visitors to a stall
about the plight of pigs. Postcards are available by contacting 0161
925 2000 or by emailing resources@vegsoc.org (please mention pig postcards
in subject line).

The plight of pigs is very much in the news this year. Recent articles
in the Guardian and reports on the BBC have discussed pig farming across
Europe, while Compassion in World Farming spearheaded a campaign focusing
on their own report on 60 farms in five key pig producing countries (Germany,
Hungary, Netherlands, Spain and the UK).
