WOAH WOAH WOAH!!! Let me get this perfectly straight: You comment something that is completely unrelated to the fact that I have two HAZARDOUSLY HOT girlfriends? Considering that I am the unprettiest UA-camr worldwide, it is really incredible. Yet you did not mention it at all. I am VERY disappointed, dear lor
They do have individual personalities, but in some ways many pigs are similar to one another. As I've seen in many sanctuary videos now, many sanctuary pigs are very friendly and affectionate, they love mud wallows and love belly scratches. And most pigs looove to eat. Many pigs follow the same friendly behavior style by walking up to people pointing their snouts up at them while grunting alot, and they rub their sides against the person's legs and give "snout kisses" (which is pressing their snouts on someone while sniffing). It's how pigs show happy friendly affection to someone they like. And, most pigs in sanctuaries do that regularly with almost every person who's kind to them, which is most in sanctuaries. Factory farm pigs very rarely do that and often frantically scurry away from any person who gets near them. And they squeal when anyone touches them. These pigs have been made way too frightened of people to be friendly and affectionate to them. People in factory farms sadly often abuse pigs and treat them dreadfully. There's a huge difference in behavior between factory farm pigs and sanctuary pigs and it almost all has to do how people treat them. Almost all pigs have this in common, and respond to love and kindness joyfully and respond to roughness and cruelty fearfully. So pigs have individual personalities from each other only to a point, and in many ways are the same as one another. Add on: when I mentioned seeing Buttercup's happy eyes while in the tub, I was referring to 5:50 to 6:00. When I posted the above paragraphs, there was still a minute left of this video I hadn't seen yet, and didn't know there was another bit with Butterçup in a pool of water. It's hard to see her eyes in this one due to the shadow from her ears, but I can still tell she's happy because of the position she's laying down in. Butterçup is one lucky happy pig
677.6 million* true but um. you try doin that. dogs and cats, horses, and other common pets are fuckin lucky, cause everyone's willing to house them and its easy to find houses for them. hec chickens are also somewhat just as easy. not with pigs and cows, which require much more dedication than a cat or dog. welp, im going to go to vegihuman hell for these replies am i?

@@40yearoldvirgil15 plant based isn't "meat." Lab grown has potential, if they can make it affordable. My point was, maybe I said it in a less obvious way, is that there is no (currently) way for "humanity to be better" to animals without stopping eating meat.
Thanks for all you do for animals. Buttercup is a beautiful example of how amazing and sentient all animals are and why I've been a vegetarian then vegan for the last 30+ years. May we all find a way to extend compassion to all sentient beings and not take part in the suffering humans impart on animals. Someday maybe all animals will be happy and be able to experience the outdoors.
These people are an example of what everyone should be. They are amazing and compassionate. I am so happy to see that Buttercup will live happy and free for the rest of her life.
It just brings me to tears how these animals are treated. We need more of these places, and we need more compassion, for we do not understand that they are living beings to of course they’re not human, but they are living beings.
Videos like this one and many other Dodo works literally help me survive life and world madness, selfishness, cruelty etc. I'm so moved watching this, thank you for your dedication and thoughtfulness. I'm a low income Senior with all kinds of health issues, and the most animal care I can afford is feeding a couple of elder feral cats who show up waiting for their bowl of food. It's little but it's the best I can do, and it gives me a sense of purpose. If we allow them, animals can bring our goodness out into view like it's shown here. Bless your hearts!
Bless you! By feeding them you're saving them from starvation or potential danger if they have to dive into piles of rubbish. If we all could care for one feral, once domesticated animal, the world would be a much nicer place. You're taking on other people's "jobs" by feeding more than one. That isn't a little thing, it's the world to those cats. Take good care of yourself too, okay? 💜
At the end of 30 days to see Buttercup's snout's sores heal, her 'X' washed away, and the trust she developed with people was beautiful. I loved to see her talk PIG with her new little friend.
It doesn't amtter weather they're a working animal, a pet, being raised for food, or anything else, they all deserve to be treated with respect and given proper care
she is so lucky to have escaped from human cruelty. I wish a miracle happens and this abuse towards animals stops. Thank you for saving her. God bless all of you!!
She had ppl that loved her at the 1st place where she lived in that tiny cage, that's the lady who called the rescue people to save her. Because she loved her and knew she had a sweet personality.
Pigs are smarter than dogs. Pigs are super affectionate, and deserve consideration just like dogs and cats. Each one is an individual. Thank you to Ziggy's and all of the other wonderful rescues/sanctuaries giving "farmed" animals a forever home without exploitation.
So sad to know that she had to wait this long to get out of that small metal cage…. I mean look at it? It doesn’t even look like she can lay down. I’m happy to know that she’s finally out but so angry with the previous owners. I wonder how they’d feel if someone locked them up in a cage so small that they couldn’t even lay down smh.
This is how all animals are treated when they exist to produce, produce, produce. It's quite horrifying what human beings are capable of in the name of profit. I'm not vegan, but I can sure see why people get upset by the wholesale immorality of the meat and dairy industries.
@@walterco7701 I'm not a vegan either. But only because I have a variety of food sensitivities and because of medical issues I'm on a highly restricted diet. So I'm unfortunately dependent on animal proteins. Otherwise I would be. But at least I live in a rural community and almost everything in the meat market is local. Knowing it comes from small family farms where the animals are at least raised humanly helps. Plus helping those farmers rather than large commercial industries that have unethical practices.
I don't want to sound anti-American (I'm not, I promise), but US animal welfare standards compared to most if not all equally developed countries is pathetic and often disgusting. I'm not saying that the other countries have got it all right - absolutely not, there is still a way to go - but at least, for example, our pigs have more room. I actually live in "pig country" (downwind from a small pig farm about 150 yards away in a straight line, that the village, which dates back at least 1500 years, has grown around!) Nearly every pig that's being raised for pork lives in a field, has an individual shelter, like a sort of long igloo. In fact they remind me of some bomb shelters, with the vaulted ceiling. They can come and go freely, they are fed however many times is necessary, but they also have their own territory to root around in the mud which keeps them happy and occupied. If it's particularly hot weather, they'll be regularly hosed down, wetting the mud so they can roll in it and use it as sunscreen (which is what wild pigs do). They're near others and can interact with them, even play if they want. Many fields can be seen from the road, and you can be sure that if anything is amiss, someone passing by will alert the authorities. Caged hens are either banned outright or are in the process of being so (depending on the country). Most people prefer to buy free-range or "barn raised", which isn't a perfect solution but does protect them from foxes, and they're not squashed into the disgusting "factory" farming cages. Chickens for eating are kept in cleaner circumstances (many are free range), so much so that we don't bleach our chickens before selling them (just cook them properly!) These are just a couple of the differences that I've seen between images of animal farming in America, and their equivalent elsewhere. I won't try to go further because these animals are the ones I know most about. Our breeding sows have a legal minimum of space, which includes space for them to lie down when they want to and not squash the babies when they come. As you can imagine, it's a _lot_ bigger than in this film, but IMHO, it could still be better. I get the impression that whilst many countries' populations (esp in developed ones) are disassociated from the source of their food, compared to its peers, America's people are by and large completely clueless about it. It's such an easy fix, too! I know that in primary school here, one of the subjects they study on and off over the years (so the info is age appropriate) is quite literally about where the food comes from. They even visit farms when possible. Many cities have "farms" for visitors, mostly filled with rescued animals which are then used in the discussion of where their bacon or whatever comes from. It's probably why there are so many younger vegetarians and vegans these days! Seriously though, the American people need to protest for better conditions for farm & zoo animals (though I suspect that typical zoos are excellent, I'm thinking about those horrid roadside ones). If you don't, there will be more need for these shelters ☹️
@@walterco7701 That is not how all Animals are treated. I get my Meat from Farms were there are treated well. Ive been there that Animals are actually happy
I wish and hope more people educate themselves through videos like this. Warms my heart that there a good and decent people helping so many animals who've been mistreated and abused.
I love her antler-looking ears. Terrible that these sweet souls are treated this way, unbelievably cruel. All the people involved in Buttercup’s rescue are wonderful. Her new owners seem so sweet and thoughtful.
@@StFrannn I was wondering but I suspected that's what it was. That is horrible, thinking that each notch must have been so cruelly painful. And her feet didn't look right to me. Are her feet OK?
No her feet and legs would be messed up from standing for 6 yrs 24/7. There is no need for this kind of cruelty for us to eat. We can still have meat and not treat the animals this way.
@@RuthinLakeWorth Indeed. And not just physical abuse, mental and emotional torture, too. All animals are sentient beings, even fish. They may not speak, but they communicate with the noises they make and their body language. We should assume that they have feelings as well. It's cruel to force an animal -- like a pig or a cow -- to witness the murder of family members or others of like kind.
I've never been to a farm or seen a farm animal up close. However, it was interesting to see how the farm animal rescues work and much these people love their animals. This was a cute story with a happy ending.
Yes make Thatcher on your bucket list to visit a working farm with animals different kinds of animals I'm 61 years old but I grew up on a farm in New Mexico with Cows and chickens and pigs sitting on the ground me and my brothers and sisters and the barn while my dad he's milking the cow and he'd shoot milk right into our mouths right from the the mother cows and then when I got older I had animals me and my wife have always had animals but now I'm a little too old for that but I still love them and I appreciate videos like this that show people that appreciate them and love them even if you're going to eat them feed him a good life it's only fair
I took it for granted that people knew about farm critters when I was young. I worked on a farm and a cattle ranch long ago. Then athletes from Chicago came to our college and they had never seen a cow or a chicken or any other farm animal. They were blown away by their farm visit. So yes please find a way to visit a farm. You will enjoy it a great deal. I do not miss our horses because of the work and the expense but I miss their scent and their elegant beauty.
Princess Piggy Buttercup on the move, making new friends when she gets in the groove. Heading to farm for a whole new life, where she can live happily, free of any rife! 🌄🐖♥️
I didn’t expect to cry but to think that animals are treated this way until they are no longer useful is truly heartbreaking. The tears of joy were worth it , to see her free and happy. God bless all animal rescuers!
I am so glad that there are people left in this world like you. You have courage and loads of love for these beautiful animals. Mankind has a lot to answer for!!
What a beautiful thing to see Buttercup get her freedom. Keep up the good work. Thank you for caring about factory farmed animals. There can be no worse life.
Yes, I saw that too. And Buttercup also started grunting first when stepping onto the farm field for the first time, and again when seeing the other pig. These were the first feelings of real joy she had
@@rider24ZA That's why we should be eating less bacon so we can pay more to get it from people who raise the animals humanely, in a field, with plenty of room. It costs a lot more to get eggs and meat this way, but it is worth it.

These are good people. I don't know how humans can be so cruel to amazing animals. Pigs are some the sweetest natured and smartest animals you could hope to encounter. I've had 2 pet pigs and they are amazing smart and loyal. My pigs were protective of me just like a dog! Lol
"Amar" a un animal, pero mantenerlo encerrado, en condiciones horribles, forzándola a parir constantemente, no es amor, es sólo otro nivel de crueldad. Qué alegría que se pudo salvar esta chanchita y que llegó a un lugar donde puede realmente vivir.
No the farmer is supplying a demand. WE are the monsters for giving them a reason to keep doing it. If you eat meat, dairy eggs or any animal products or secretions from their body, YOU are directly responsible for the farmers to keep doing this. ALL animals raised for Food are treated like this. AND YOU as a meat eater, vegetarian or anything other than ethical vegan are responsible. It's math. If you buy it they keep doing it. Simply really. Not Rocket Science.
@@BikersBitchHD yeah sure. I am vegan. so i don't -- anyway, someone who lives off the suffering of so many animals just to fill his pockets is surely someone who is subhumane plus VILE. *effindisgusted*
factory farm pigs always have raw skin above their snouts from rubbing endlessly on bars of their cages where they go almost insane from the tiny metal cages they are locked in. It's insane what people do to animals for for their flesh and milk. Thank you so much for giving this angel freedom and a life that all pigs should have.

Lab grown has potential, if they can make it affordable.
My point was, maybe I said it in a less obvious way, is that there is no (currently) way for "humanity to be better" to animals without stopping eating meat.
Thanks for all you do for animals. Buttercup is a beautiful example of how amazing and sentient all animals are and why I've been a vegetarian then vegan for the last 30+ years. May we all find a way to extend compassion to all sentient beings and not take part in the suffering humans impart on animals. Someday maybe all animals will be happy and be able to experience the outdoors.
These people are an example of what everyone should be. They are amazing and compassionate. I am so happy to see that Buttercup will live happy and free for the rest of her life.
Thank you for your comment ☺️ !
Yes, they are amazing humans! ❤️❤️
fat?
Thank you for providing Buttercup at all these animals such a wonderful life. That makes me so happy💖🌈🦋💕💕💕💕
I’d rather Buttercup live free in my stomach as bacon.
Never thought I'd be soo happy over a pig. But here iam, felling joy for this sweet big girl named buttercup
Humanity over religion,,
I am proud of you bro !
At last we are also living beings
👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️🙂🙂
@@akarshityadav4648 Jesus loves animals.
Humanity sucks. Humans are the reason for all the pain and sufferings
animals suffer.
@@user-ul7li5mu1s I agree with u bro
Evan Kahn: Your eyes and your heart became wide open! Buttercup's cruel life and her newfound freedom and love is a beautiful thing.
It just brings me to tears how these animals are treated. We need more of these places, and we need more compassion, for we do not understand that they are living beings to of course they’re not human, but they are living beings.
This is so sweet. Love when they called her Princess Buttercup. Made me smile. What a beautiful way to show unconditional love :)
What if you have a pet pig?
🐖 = 🍖🍖 = 🤑🤑 = 🍴 = 😋😋
Humans can be horrible but I'm glad there's people like this.
Bitter-sweet. I feel absolute joy for Buttercup and absolute heartbreak for all the other pigs left behind in those horrific conditions.
Videos like this one and many other Dodo works literally help me survive life and world madness, selfishness, cruelty etc. I'm so moved watching this, thank you for your dedication and thoughtfulness. I'm a low income Senior with all kinds of health issues, and the most animal care I can afford is feeding a couple of elder feral cats who show up waiting for their bowl of food. It's little but it's the best I can do, and it gives me a sense of purpose. If we allow them, animals can bring our goodness out into view like it's shown here. Bless your hearts!
Thankyou for being a wonderful and warm person. You are bringing some love and food into their lives, for them it's huge ❤
Bless you! By feeding them you're saving them from starvation or potential danger if they have to dive into piles of rubbish. If we all could care for one feral, once domesticated animal, the world would be a much nicer place. You're taking on other people's "jobs" by feeding more than one. That isn't a little thing, it's the world to those cats. Take good care of yourself too, okay? 💜
People like this reinspire my faith in humanity.
Bless you for giving this sweet angel the life she deserves!! The world needs more people like you!! So happy for Buttercup!!
We need a billion zillion people like y’all. We will get there.
yeah.
you'd need that.
677.6 million pigs exist as of January this year.
Unfortunately we won’t 😔
its a shame we harm and kill these lovely animals for our greed
No you won’t. No chance.
Thank you for taking Buttercup and giving her the pig life. She deserves it. There is a special place in heaven for people like this.
Yes there is, it is called rainbow bridge.there we can cherish all animals and there habitat!!!!!
Yea and there is a speilal place in Hell 4 people who hurt God’s animals
@@kathyshea2444 What is wrong with u
This made me smile so much :)
I'm so glad this momma finally got a chance to just be a pig.
At the end of 30 days to see Buttercup's snout's sores heal, her 'X' washed away, and the trust she developed with people was beautiful. I loved to see her talk PIG with her new little friend.
It doesn't amtter weather they're a working animal, a pet, being raised for food, or anything else, they all deserve to be treated with respect and given proper care
I see them as slaves. They are bought and sold and they have no rights . It's a silent holocaust of the billions we kill every day.
I love that these guys adopt pigs, they saved Champ and other pigs from the hurricane. They are amazing humans.
she is so lucky to have escaped from human cruelty. I wish a miracle happens and this abuse towards animals stops. Thank you for saving her. God bless all of you!!
Hey
Hello
@@davidryan4219 @Wilfred Fred Heya, fellas, you both here i see
God, I love people who do this! The look on Buttercup's face when she was in that bath was unmistakably, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
I pray that one day all pigs and farmed animals will have a beautiful life like she does :)
I’m surprised at her being able to socialize so easily after years of isolation.
anything that can make about any terrestrial habitat its b*#( probably has balls of titanium
She had ppl that loved her at the 1st place where she lived in that tiny cage, that's the lady who called the rescue people to save her. Because she loved her and knew she had a sweet personality.
@@Spiritualwarrior1965 that's a really good point. ty.
its a shame we harm and kill these lovely animals for our greed
@@Ammeo who’s we 🧐
I never knew that getting to see a pig sleep on a fluffy bed could make me so happy. But it did. Have a great life, Buttercup!
We must treat animals with care and love, learn from them lessons of humanity and respect for nature
I’m so happy for Buttercup. Animals deserve to be able to enjoy life just like everyone else. I’m glad you adopted her and gave her some joy.
This makes me beyond happy. I can't imagine her complete and utter joy.
Pigs are smarter than dogs. Pigs are super affectionate, and deserve consideration just like dogs and cats. Each one is an individual. Thank you to Ziggy's and all of the other wonderful rescues/sanctuaries giving "farmed" animals a forever home without exploitation.
There are some good people left in this world
So sad to know that she had to wait this long to get out of that small metal cage…. I mean look at it? It doesn’t even look like she can lay down. I’m happy to know that she’s finally out but so angry with the previous owners. I wonder how they’d feel if someone locked them up in a cage so small that they couldn’t even lay down smh.
This is how all animals are treated when they exist to produce, produce, produce. It's quite horrifying what human beings are capable of in the name of profit. I'm not vegan, but I can sure see why people get upset by the wholesale immorality of the meat and dairy industries.
@@walterco7701 I'm not a vegan either. But only because I have a variety of food sensitivities and because of medical issues I'm on a highly restricted diet. So I'm unfortunately dependent on animal proteins. Otherwise I would be. But at least I live in a rural community and almost everything in the meat market is local. Knowing it comes from small family farms where the animals are at least raised humanly helps. Plus helping those farmers rather than large commercial industries that have unethical practices.
I don't want to sound anti-American (I'm not, I promise), but US animal welfare standards compared to most if not all equally developed countries is pathetic and often disgusting. I'm not saying that the other countries have got it all right - absolutely not, there is still a way to go - but at least, for example, our pigs have more room. I actually live in "pig country" (downwind from a small pig farm about 150 yards away in a straight line, that the village, which dates back at least 1500 years, has grown around!)
Nearly every pig that's being raised for pork lives in a field, has an individual shelter, like a sort of long igloo. In fact they remind me of some bomb shelters, with the vaulted ceiling. They can come and go freely, they are fed however many times is necessary, but they also have their own territory to root around in the mud which keeps them happy and occupied. If it's particularly hot weather, they'll be regularly hosed down, wetting the mud so they can roll in it and use it as sunscreen (which is what wild pigs do). They're near others and can interact with them, even play if they want. Many fields can be seen from the road, and you can be sure that if anything is amiss, someone passing by will alert the authorities.
Caged hens are either banned outright or are in the process of being so (depending on the country). Most people prefer to buy free-range or "barn raised", which isn't a perfect solution but does protect them from foxes, and they're not squashed into the disgusting "factory" farming cages. Chickens for eating are kept in cleaner circumstances (many are free range), so much so that we don't bleach our chickens before selling them (just cook them properly!)
These are just a couple of the differences that I've seen between images of animal farming in America, and their equivalent elsewhere. I won't try to go further because these animals are the ones I know most about. Our breeding sows have a legal minimum of space, which includes space for them to lie down when they want to and not squash the babies when they come. As you can imagine, it's a _lot_ bigger than in this film, but IMHO, it could still be better.
I get the impression that whilst many countries' populations (esp in developed ones) are disassociated from the source of their food, compared to its peers, America's people are by and large completely clueless about it. It's such an easy fix, too! I know that in primary school here, one of the subjects they study on and off over the years (so the info is age appropriate) is quite literally about where the food comes from. They even visit farms when possible. Many cities have "farms" for visitors, mostly filled with rescued animals which are then used in the discussion of where their bacon or whatever comes from. It's probably why there are so many younger vegetarians and vegans these days!
Seriously though, the American people need to protest for better conditions for farm & zoo animals (though I suspect that typical zoos are excellent, I'm thinking about those horrid roadside ones). If you don't, there will be more need for these shelters ☹️
I'd like to see them in cages and smacked with wips. :)
@@walterco7701 That is not how all Animals are treated. I get my Meat from Farms were there are treated well. Ive been there that Animals are actually happy
The top of her raw little nose broke my heart. That must have been stingy and sore. I’m glad it’s healed and she has you.
I wish and hope more people educate themselves through videos like this. Warms my heart that there a good and decent people helping so many animals who've been mistreated and abused.
I was so happy when he kissed her nose. Thank God for people that can do this for
these animals!
Millions of pigs in the same situation as buttercup was, they all deserve this! She's one lucky piggy 🐷 💕
She’s just found Paradise. She’s beautiful.
She’s breakfast 🍳🥓 😋
I love her antler-looking ears. Terrible that these sweet souls are treated this way, unbelievably cruel. All the people involved in Buttercup’s rescue are wonderful. Her new owners seem so sweet and thoughtful.
The ears are mutilated by the industry that kept her imprisoned. They cut holes for tags and to mark them. It's horrible.
@@StFrannn Oh no 🙁😔 I hadn't realised they would be mutilated like that, with pieces cut out. Thanks for educating me.
@@StFrannn I was wondering but I suspected that's what it was. That is horrible, thinking that each notch must have been so cruelly painful. And her feet didn't look right to me. Are her feet OK?
No her feet and legs would be messed up from standing for 6 yrs 24/7. There is no need for this kind of cruelty for us to eat. We can still have meat and not treat the animals this way.
@@RuthinLakeWorth Indeed. And not just physical abuse, mental and emotional torture, too. All animals are sentient beings, even fish. They may not speak, but they communicate with the noises they make and their body language. We should assume that they have feelings as well. It's cruel to force an animal -- like a pig or a cow -- to witness the murder of family members or others of like kind.
She’s a beautiful, happy, little, pretty princess now! And thank God for these amazing people.
The dog did abuse her look at her ears she wasn't have a happy life before this and her bloody nose
I've never been to a farm or seen a farm animal up close. However, it was interesting to see how the farm animal rescues work and much these people love their animals. This was a cute story with a happy ending.
Please make an effort to visit a working farm where they have different animals. It will change your view on life.
Yes make Thatcher on your bucket list to visit a working farm with animals different kinds of animals I'm 61 years old but I grew up on a farm in New Mexico with Cows and chickens and pigs sitting on the ground me and my brothers and sisters and the barn while my dad he's milking the cow and he'd shoot milk right into our mouths right from the the mother cows and then when I got older I had animals me and my wife have always had animals but now I'm a little too old for that but I still love them and I appreciate videos like this that show people that appreciate them and love them even if you're going to eat them feed him a good life it's only fair
I took it for granted that people knew about farm critters when I was young. I worked on a farm and a cattle ranch long ago. Then athletes from Chicago came to our college and they had never seen a cow or a chicken or any other farm animal. They were blown away by their farm visit. So yes please find a way to visit a farm. You will enjoy it a great deal. I do not miss our horses because of the work and the expense but I miss their scent and their elegant beauty.
It would be surely fun to visit a farm santuary like this. :)
@Marie Slabbert
I grew up on a cattle ranch, I’m a vegan, as are five out of my seven brothers.
So cute how she explores every inch of her new territory and new life.
Pigs can be so loving. I'm so happy that Buttercup got a great retirement!
I'm not crying, you're crying.
That's a lie, I'm totally crying.
Me, too!
Princess Piggy Buttercup on the move,
making new friends when she gets in the groove. Heading to farm for a whole new life, where she can live happily, free of any rife! 🌄🐖♥️
I didn’t expect to cry but to think that animals are treated this way until they are no longer useful is truly heartbreaking. The tears of joy were worth it , to see her free and happy. God bless all animal rescuers!
She a beauty 👍🏻

Hello
@@davidryan4219 Yo
I am so glad that there are people left in this world like you. You have courage and loads of love for these beautiful animals. Mankind has a lot to answer for!!
She got Heaven on Earth: a Totoro bed, lots of her favorite food, and all the pets. You earned 'em twice over, baby girl!
Piggies are just grass puppies 🥰
What a beautiful thing to see Buttercup get her freedom. Keep up the good work. Thank you for caring about factory farmed animals. There can be no worse life.
You literally can see Buttercup smile when she steps outside after quarantine! I love this!
Yes, I saw that too. And Buttercup also started grunting first when stepping onto the farm field for the first time, and again when seeing the other pig. These were the first feelings of real joy she had
I pray everyday that there is a hell for the people who do this to animals. Thank you for rescuing her.
Me 2 GodBless
Its the consumers who keep eating Animals, they keep this cruel industry alive.
we pay them to do that for bacon
@@rider24ZA That's why we should be eating less bacon so we can pay more to get it from people who raise the animals humanely, in a field, with plenty of room. It costs a lot more to get eggs and meat this way, but it is worth it.
As Charlotte spun in her web, "Some Pig!" & some Earth Angels to love & protect her.🥰🐖🥰
She has the most adorable face. I’m so glad you rescued her. Horrible way the previous owners treated! Thank you for giving her life a better meaning. ❤️🐷

are you vegan then?
Six years in a crate😢 I can’t believe we do this to these animals and think it’s normal… it hurts my heart to think of all the suffering they endure😔 Buttercup is one of the lucky ones… I wish there were more🙏
fellow animals* and you have no idea, but agreed so you’re vegan then?
These People Saving these Innocent Loving Animals.. Have Also Saved me From Deppresion Today.. LIKE if it Saved you From Depression Today. Just Seeing that Pig getting Saved and living her best life Now with Love ❤
These people are absolute angels on earth. A thousand thanks for improving Buttercup's life to such an extent. Love from France💞
Isn't this just the most heartwarming video - well done. The world has to give more respect to animals, together we can learn so much.
heartwarming like deeeeez
That kiss! So happy for Buttercup! Bless you for giving her the best life! ❤️
Hey
These humans are ANGELS! God bless them!!!
"You're prettier than the sunset..." That melted my heart. People truly are good at their core.
Some people… certainly this couple. How about that goat?! I really want to know the goat’s story. Imagine what it has taken them to care for him. And that swing…!! 💚
"Today was an awesome day."
I bet Buttercup agrees. Absolutely love her...
Happy days ahead for one special girl!!
That is just so sad. I’m glad that she’s in a better place now. I love pigs and I’m so glad there are people who are able to do things like this for animals🐷💕🥰
I love the kiss he gave buttercup when she arrived at the sanctuary. You can tell they really care for the animals there. Good people.
4:07 just casually pushing a goat on a swing! Awesome!
Omg she looks so happy and the smile on her face when she was in the water for the the first time melts my ❤️
These are good people. I don't know how humans can be so cruel to amazing animals. Pigs are some the sweetest natured and smartest animals you could hope to encounter. I've had 2 pet pigs and they are amazing smart and loyal. My pigs were protective of me just like a dog! Lol
Pigs are big-nose dogs in pink suits. 😊
Better to save her then no pigs at all! Love this.
lady you are so sweet the way you talk to her !!!
Words can't begin to describe how happy I am watching this. Thank you so much for rescuing her. :)
"Amar" a un animal, pero mantenerlo encerrado, en condiciones horribles, forzándola a parir constantemente, no es amor, es sólo otro nivel de crueldad. Qué alegría que se pudo salvar esta chanchita y que llegó a un lugar donde puede realmente vivir.
Those from the sanctuary are lovely people. The farmer is a MONSTER.
No the farmer is supplying a demand. WE are the monsters for giving them a reason to keep doing it.
If you eat meat, dairy eggs or any animal products or secretions from their body, YOU are directly responsible for the farmers
to keep doing this. ALL animals raised for Food are treated like this. AND YOU as a meat eater, vegetarian or anything other than ethical vegan are responsible. It's math. If you buy it they keep doing it. Simply really. Not Rocket Science.
Hello vera
@@BikersBitchHD yeah sure. I am vegan. so i don't -- anyway, someone who lives off the suffering of so many animals just to fill his pockets is surely someone who is subhumane plus VILE. *effindisgusted*
