It’s hard to imagine just how miserable life is for a pregnant pig locked inside a narrow gestation crate that is barely wider than her body. Nearly immobilized day after day, month after month – unable to even turn around – these smart and social animals are treated like mere piglet-producing machines. They

in the US are forced to endure such intensive confinement, and their suffering is kept hidden behind the closed doors of animal agribusiness.

Two pennies. You might think that two pennies
aren’t worth a whole lot these days, but what if someone told you that’s all it might take to actually change

pennies is the average cost per view of running a 30-second commercial on
HULU.com, one of the most popular video streaming websites where a growing
number of people are turning to watch their favorite TV shows. Yes, just
two pennies. 

Now imagine if, while watching HULU, in between
their prime time television shows or late night comedy on demand, viewers caught a brief glimpse
of the horrors kept hidden behind the closed doors of animal agribusiness.
