" A little grunter work a recollective way . "
Do you remember that one movie with the adorable talking pig and farmanimals?
Well, a real-life little piglet found its happy ending after falling off a truck on its way to becoming fattened for slaughter.
Then, the pig was introduced to an honorary director of PETA, who is none other than actor James Cromwell, the star ofBabe(1995) and its sequel,Babe: Pig in the City(1998).
In the movie, Cromwell starred as the lovable farmer Arthur Hoggett who wins an orphaned piglet named Babe from the county fair. After becoming the adopted piglet of a border collie, Babe becomes a remarkable sheep-herding pig.
Well, art imitated life this weekend when Cromwell (aka Arthur Hoggett) stepped in to help save this real-life abandoned piglet’s life by working with PETA to transfer him to the Indraloka Animal Sanctuary — but the story gets even sweeter.
The 83-year-old actor had the most adorable conversation when he met the piglet, saying, “Hello there, little man. I understand your name is Babe. I knew a pig named Babe. What a smart little pig she was — that you are too. I hear that you’re a rather extraordinary pig besides being sleepy,” he started.
This odoriferous little guy wire is NOT Easter dinner . He pass over off a tape transport truck and will now be travel to an fauna sanctuary to go a peaceable life . That ’ll do hog . That ’ll do . @peta
“So, you jumped off a truck so you wouldn’t be somebody’s Easter dinner. What a great thing to do. Nobody should have any animal for dinner. Invite the animals to dinner, that’s what I say.”
“So, we’re going to go to a sanctuary and you’re going to meet a lot of other incredible animals. I’m looking forward to meeting you and all the other animals. I’ll see you there.”
The piglet will be transfer to theIndraloka Animal Sanctuaryin Wyoming County , Pennsylvania , to be with over 200 animals of 15 metal money who look contumely , neglect , hoarding , and other atrocity .
“Having had the privilege of witnessing and experiencing pigs’ intelligence and inquisitive personalities while filming, the movieBabechanged my life and my way of eating, and so I jumped at the chance to save this real-life Babe,” James said in a statement to Variety.
“Every pig deserves to live in peace and joy at a sanctuary, choosing when to frolic, where to forage, and how to spend their time, yet few do," James added.
And now, that’s some good news to brighten your day.
