Dear Editor:
PETA's Hell on Wheels truck rolled up to North Bullard Street on Sunday—to make its point: animals aren't ours to exploit. Every animal is someone. Please, go vegan.
Pigs are intelligent, emotionally complex beings who form close bonds and communicate with each other using over 20 different sounds. They have excellent memories, love to play, sunbathe, and even find comfort in music—when they're allowed to live peacefully.
But on factory farms, they're denied everything that makes life worth living. Instead, they're crammed into filthy, crowded warehouses before being loaded onto trucks and sent to slaughterhouses to endure terrifying, violent deaths.
That's why the PETA truck was there—to confront people with the truth the meat industry hides. Wrapped in life-sized images of pigs jammed into transport crates, it made cruelty visible. And once you see it, you can't unsee it.
Sincerely,
Scott Miller
The PETA Foundation
