Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing - John Stuart Mill

THE #53 PIGS In early 2019 Beneath the Wood undertook an epic rescue that would prove to be the largest reversal of a destruction order placed on animals from the animal agriculture industry in the United Kingdom. This reversal, which became pivotal to the sanctuary’s expansion, was of pigs who became known as the Pembrokeshire 53. After a government raid on Bramble Hall Farm in Pembrokeshire, an illegal slaughterhouse was discovered and all of the 200 animals there were found to be in an appalling state, emaciated, starving and with many close to death. Most of the animals were quickly removed and relocated but the #53 pigs were put under a destruction order as they had been eating dead carcasses that were strewn around the farm. They had also been consuming bricks, building debris, car tyres, batteries and car panels. Due to this, they were deemed to have, (possibly) TSE, which is the pig, or swine, equivalent of BSE (Mad Cow disease). Tests for TSE are inconclusive and it is because of this that Beneath the Wood fought to oppose and reverse the destruction order and with the help of an incredible firm of solicitors, Advocates for Animals, an arduous and exhausting nine-month legal wrangle ensued. On October 9, 2019, Beneath the Wood finally took delivery and welcomed into their care the #53 pigs, although that number had grown to 74 by then due to inadequate care in a government holding facility whilst their plight was being fought over. This also resulted in piglets being born soon after the pigs arrived at the sanctuary.

The biggest threat to animals is the consumer.
The difference between people who state, veganism is easy and those who say state, veganism is hard, is, those who say it's easy are focused on the victims, while those who say it's hard, are focused on themselves.
