Pig Save Vigil

On Monday 3 April, VSA Nijmegen, VSA Eindhoven, VSA Tilburg, and VSA Wageningen are joining a Pig Save in Boxtel together.

During this peaceful vigil organised by the Animal Save Movement, activists attend to trucks with pigs that are waiting to enter the slaughterhouse. Activists give a little love and attention to these animals in the final moments of their life. The slaughterhouse fully cooperates with this legal form of activism and provides activists with pairs of latex gloves and bottles of water. By sharing images of the vigil on personal social media, it becomes a powerful form of activism that connects the disconnected consumers to the reality of the individual animals in this industry.

It can be an intense experience and a board member will be present if you need any emotional support. We also really want to emphasize that if you know that you can’t handle these situations well that it is better if you don’t join this event. Finally, it is important to bring a valid ID because there is an identification requirement on site. The event starts at 10:00, but we are gathering at the train station in Boxtel between 09:30 and 09:45 and will walking to the slaughterhouse together.
